I might just change my mind
Sometimes you can never tell
Where a story will unwind
And how deep is the shallow well
Sometimes you can never guess
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
And who knows no better angels now
And 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
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
Only as an afterthought
It wouldn't have to feel so bad
To think I killed him just because
He was passing through this town
But all because he looked about right
And he stopped when I flagged him down
On the Kings Highway tonight

Well I might just change my mind
Sometimes you can never tell
