Royal
Royal was a down home hero playing in the night ray band
He stood the old foundation hungry for the promise land
Chewin on a rag time rhythm chasing down a dead man's song
Face to face with a runaway dream that was waiting for him all along

Well come on royal
play those feet in the soil
Burnin like a hot black oil
know that you better slow down
shake until the day break
Know that fires gonna fade to grey
Cause only so much that you can take before you give it all away
Give it all away
Aaaayyy

Reaching for an occupation courthouse cavalier
A crooked smile ol' crocodile grinning from ear to ear
Dancing on a two top singing, heart beatin' in his hand
Twisted up bad like a web ball man, back on the road again

Well come on royal
play those feet in the soil
Burnin like a hot black oil
know that you better slow down
shake until the day break
Know that fires gonna fade to grey
Cause only so much that you can take before you give it all away
Give it all away

Now(?) later, I've been looking for a way out
Some nights I found solace in my own
Come find me where the skyline meets the road
It's the only place I know

Well come on royal
play those feet in the soil
Burnin like a hot black oil
know that you better slow down
Keep it shakin til the day breaks
Know that fires gonna fade to grey
Cause only so much that you can take before you give it all away
Give it all away
