When I've outrun all my years
Carry me to the king of tears
Place my beggar's crown upon the ground
Tell the good folks all around
They've laid the last outlaw down
And my sound you're never more to hear
Put two pennies on my eyes
So my fair is paid
And I can ride on that long black train tonight
It won't take you where I'm going
But it brings some comfort knowing
That we've shared some laughter in this life
And when that darkness calls me down
Pour upon me one more round
They could hang my ears tonight
But no noose would be as tight
As the grip of our friendship in this life
This one's for you, Tullie
We love you, brother
If you're still leaning where I fall
Shed a tear for one and all
Dig me deep that hole I know my rights
But tell no lies about the man
Just a thief who made a stand
And some may say that's all you can really do
And when that darkness calls me down
Pour upon me one more round
Pass the bottle to the right
Keep on fighting that good fight
And my brother I'll see you in the light
And my brother I'll see you in the light
When I've outrun all my years
Carry me to the king of tears
