Western Stars - Bruce Springsteen

Lyrics by：Bruce Springsteen

Composed by：Bruce Springsteen

I wake up in the morning

Just glad my boots are on

Instead of empty in the whispering grasses

Down the five at forest lawn

On the set the makeup

Girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin

Then I give it all up

For that little blue pill

That promises to bring

It all back to you again

Ride me down easy

Ride me down easy friend

Tonight the western stars

Are shining bright again

Here in the canyons above Sunset

The desert don't give up the fight

A coyote with someone's

Chihuahua in it's teeth skitters

'Cross my veranda in the night

Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips

Her Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar

Smiles and says she thinks

She remembers me from

That commercial with the credit card

Hell these days there ain't no more

Now there's just again

Tonight the western stars

Are shining bright again

Sundays I take my El Camino

Throw my saddle in and go

East to the desert where the charros

They still ride and rope

Our American brothers

'Cross the wire and bring

The old ways with them

Tonight the western stars

Are shining bright again

Once I was shot by John Wayne

Yeah it was towards the end

That one scene's bought me

A thousand drinks

Set me up and I'll tell it for you friend

Here's to the cowboys

The riders in the whirlwind

Tonight the western stars

Are shining bright again

And the western stars

Are shining bright again

Tonight the riders on Sunset

Are smothered in the Santa Ana winds

And the western stars are shining

Bright again

Come on and ride me down easy

Ride me down easy friend

'Cause tonight the western stars

Are shining bright again

I woke up this morning just

Glad my boots were on
