Every cowboy movie I watched as a kid. Or maybe a retelling of “Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts”?

He walked into the snowy town eyes wide open
wondering if he’d walk back out he was only hoping
he’d come to find a certain man
He was working on a plan
to get his hands on that bastard’s money

Keep your eyes wide open and your feet upon the ground
Keep your eyes wide open there’s danger all around

The townsfolk watched him carefully as he stepped into the bar
They knew they’d seen that face before they recognized the scar
he had a little time to think
as the barman poured his drink
he thought maybe this time he’d gone too far

Keep your eyes wide open and your feet upon the ground
Keep your eyes wide open there’s danger all around
keep a bullet in the chamber don’t trust anyone at all
Keep your eyes wide open and your back against the wall

It happened in a heartbeat caught the tavern unprepared
bullets and broken glass filled the smoky air
Our man was halfway down the road
a wad of bills inside his coat
and a body bleeding on the barroom floor

Keep your eyes wide open and your feet upon the ground
Keep your eyes wide open there’s danger all around
keep a bullet in the chamber don’t trust anyone at all
Keep your eyes wide open and your back against the wall

Keep your eyes wide open (eyes wide open) x3
Keep your eyes wide open and your back against the wall
