[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

Well, 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
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how their jewelry turns to rust
And the songs they call 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
