The Golden Crystal Kingdom

Heavy is the head that wears the crown

Ah, but heavier I found the notion to put it down

I been playin' in their honky-tonks and bars

But the babbling of the crowd has lost its charm

♪

Well, they dress up in their finest western clothes

Yeah, and where they get it from, nobody knows

And the guitar sounds are howlin' high and loud

That old pedal steel comes driftin' like a cloud

Ain't it funny how their jewelry turns to rust

And the songs they play are covered up in dust?

If you're lookin' for a dance, you'll find it there

In the Golden Crystal Kingdom on the square

♪

I been drownin' out the bad thoughts in my mind

I've been looking for a home that I just can't find

And the devil's always sparklin' in the light

And it shines into my face until I'm blind

♪

I tried to leave, but I could not find the door

Yeah, and I don't wanna play this stage no more

I wish I was back in my Texas home

I'd rather sing this song at the Country Store

Ain't it funny how their jewelry turns to rust

And the songs they play are covered up in dust?

If you're lookin' for a dance, you'll find it there

In the Golden Crystal Kingdom on the square
