Kings Highway Songtext

I might just change my mind Sometimes you can never tell How a story will unwind How deep is the shallow ground Sometimes you can never tell Who's all talk and who just might Find a way or lose themselves On the Kings Highway tonight I am just like many more Who lie in bed, still and numb Waking up then I can see Just how dark it has become Who knows no better angels now Who knows none but earthly light Who is waiting for a stranger On the Kings 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 from where he lay On the Kings Highway tonight I took the little that he had Almost as an afterthought It wouldn't have to've been so bad To think I killed him just because He was passing through this town Only 'cause he looked about right And he stopped when I flagged him down On the Kings Highway tonight I might just change my mind Sometimes you can never tell
