King's Highway

歌詞

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.
