Royal

Royal was a down-home hero, playin' in the Night Ray Band East of the old foundation, hungry for the promised land Chewin' on a ragtime rhythm, chasin' down a dead man's song Face to face with a runaway dream that was waitin' for him all along Come on, Royal, plant those feet in the soil Been burnin' like a hot, black oil, you know that you better slow down Keep shakin' till the day breaks, and all that fire's gonna to fade to gray There's only so much that you can take before you give it all away You give it all away, yeah Reaching for an occupation, road house cavalier A crooked smile old crocodile grinnin' from ear to ear Dancin' on a two-top, singin', heart beatin' in his hand Twisted up bad like a wet bar rag, back on the road again Come on, Royal, plant those feet in the soil Been burnin' like a hot, black oil, you know that you better slow down Keep shakin' till the day breaks, and all that fire's gonna to fade to gray There's only so much that you can take before you give it all away Give it all away Madelena, I've been lookin' for a way out But some nights, I've found solace on my own Come find me where skyline meets the road It's the only place I know Come on, Royal, plant those feet in the soil Been burnin' like a hot, black oil, you know that you better slow down Keep shakin' till the day breaks, and all that fire's gonna to fade to gray There's only so much that you can take before you give it all away You give it all away, yeah, give it all away Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah
