I might just change my mind | |
Sometimes you can never tell | |
Where a story will unwind | |
Or how deep is a shallow well; | |
Sometimes you would never guess | |
Who’s all talk and who just might | |
Find their way or lose themselves | |
On the King’s Highway tonight. | |
I am just like many more | |
Who lie in bed, still and numb, | |
Awake enough that I can see | |
Just how dark it has become; | |
Who knows no better angels now, | |
Who’s known none but an earthly light | |
And who is waiting for a stranger | |
On the King’s Highway tonight. | |
It wasn’t how I had it planned | |
When it finally came around, | |
I took a man with my own hands | |
But I held him close when he went down; | |
He hadn’t time to be afraid | |
His look was only of surprise, | |
Staring up where he lay | |
On the King’s Highway tonight. | |
I took the little that he had | |
Only as an afterthought | |
He wouldn’t have to feel so bad | |
To think I’d killed him just because | |
He was passing through this town | |
And only ‘cause he looked about right, | |
And he stopped when I flagged him down | |
On the King s Highway tonight. | |
I might just change my mind | |
Sometimes you can never tell. |
I might just change my mind | |
Sometimes you can never tell | |
Where a story will unwind | |
Or how deep is a shallow well | |
Sometimes you would never guess | |
Who' s all talk and who just might | |
Find their way or lose themselves | |
On the King' s Highway tonight. | |
I am just like many more | |
Who lie in bed, still and numb, | |
Awake enough that I can see | |
Just how dark it has become | |
Who knows no better angels now, | |
Who' s known none but an earthly light | |
And who is waiting for a stranger | |
On the King' s Highway tonight. | |
It wasn' t how I had it planned | |
When it finally came around, | |
I took a man with my own hands | |
But I held him close when he went down | |
He hadn' t time to be afraid | |
His look was only of surprise, | |
Staring up where he lay | |
On the King' s Highway tonight. | |
I took the little that he had | |
Only as an afterthought | |
He wouldn' t have to feel so bad | |
To think I' d killed him just because | |
He was passing through this town | |
And only ' cause he looked about right, | |
And he stopped when I flagged him down | |
On the King s Highway tonight. | |
I might just change my mind | |
Sometimes you can never tell. |
I might just change my mind | |
Sometimes you can never tell | |
Where a story will unwind | |
Or how deep is a shallow well | |
Sometimes you would never guess | |
Who' s all talk and who just might | |
Find their way or lose themselves | |
On the King' s Highway tonight. | |
I am just like many more | |
Who lie in bed, still and numb, | |
Awake enough that I can see | |
