Steve Earle - The Kind Lyrics






Tell me a story 'bout a fella with a crazy dream
Everybody tells him that it won't amount to anything
He fires the shot heard around the world
He wins the prize and he gets the girl
That's the kind of story I like - the kind that makes you think

Sing me a song about a cowboy with an achin' heart
Ridin' along the lonesome prairie 'bout to fall apart
Every time those doggies moan
He doesn't feel so all alone
That's the kind of song that I like - the kind that breaks your heart

Paint me a picture of a girl with a secret smile
Lookin' back at ya 'cross the years through ancient eyes
You're standin' there like an open door
'Cause she's seen it all before
That's the kind of picture I like - the kind that makes you sigh

    "The Road Goes on Forever" is a Robert Earl Keen song, not Steve Earle. They have some similarities, though, so I can sunderstand the confusion.

    I once asked Steve to play this song at a concert in the Netherlnds and he said he liked it but had forgotten how to play it, when I offered to show him he promiced that he would come watch me if I ever performed it. Wonderful songwriter and pretty good guy!
