Western Stars

作词 : Bruce Springsteen

作曲 : 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 its 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

Some days 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 tell it for you, friend

Here's to the cowboys, 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

C'mon 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
