King's Highway
I might just change my mindSometimes you can never tellWhere a story will unwindHow deep is the shallow groundSometimes you would never guessWho's all talk and who just mightFind a way or lose themselvesOn the king's highway tonightI am just like many moreWho lie in bed, still and numbWaking up and I can seeJust how dark it has becomeWho knows no better angels nowWho knows none but earthly lightWho is waiting for a strangerOn the king's highway tonightIt wasn't how I had it plannedWhen it finally came aroundI took a man with my own handsBut I held him close when he went downHe hadn't time to be afraidSongtexteHis look was only of surpriseStaring up from where he layOn the king's highway tonightI took the little that he hadOnly as an afterthoughtHe wouldn't have to feel so badTo think I killed him just becauseHe was passing through this townOnly 'cause he looked about rightHe stopped when I flagged him downOn the king's highway tonightI might just change my mindSometimes you can never tell Aus Songtexte Mania
