Western Soft

Western soft

Western soft and now we're off somehow

The painted dawn is rarely wrong and how

Girls go west to find success
or fall unto an early death

The light that bleeds inside us leaves somehow

Trailers crash and flags half-mast

Stars in the Cave

Ride that bike
Don't look below
To the stars in the cave
and the buffalo
to the hearts you broke
and the things you know

Drink away the sins you lost
the Jackson Hole
and the Holocaust
the Indian Graves
and the things that rust

(you must)

Be brave, old man
Get saved, old man

Ride that bike
Down down down down down

Hey

Hey

You know what you want but it scares you
You live in a trap and it snares you
You'd head for the road if you could
But you can't so you won't and that's that

Hey

The world in your heart shouldn't scare you
Don't let the others control you
You know in your heart that its true
Yes you do

Hey

The wind will come and blow it down, take it all away
The winds will come, the house, the car
Sweep it all away
Wasted years, one thousand tears
Give it all away

Hey

Don't fear what you want cuz it scares you. . .

Mesa

I'm at the Pine Low
Not at the Mesa
Time and space surveys us
Never though obeys us

I'm at the High Cloud
Above the mesa
Life is ours and it saves us
Ephemeral in stasis

(Yes it is)

Till time erases us (x3)

Hey! 
Hey!

End of the Road

Now Jon is gone
And the life to which we held on

Hold my head and cry
in this motel room, alone

Heaven, remake me
Please don’t forsake me
Never mistake me
for someone else

Policeman at the door
This is the end of the road

Heaven, remake me
Please don’t forsake me
Never mistake me
for someone else

Runnin' on Empty

They’re coming up fast
and we’re moving too slow
There is no place to go, Jon
And the suns goin’ down
We’ve run of road, when
push comes to shove
we’ve run out of luck
we’ve run out of love

We’re runnin’ on empty
Gotta keep runnin’
But we’re runnin’ on empty
Gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’

Jon started the car,
leaves K behind
As the cops move in
flashing lights on the motel sign

We’re runnin’ on empty
We’re runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty
We gotta keep runnin’
We gotta keep runnin’
Runnin’ on empty

Golden Grass

At the Golden Grass
in the middle of the night

Said you’re gonna leave me?

But I got a keep runnin’
Get ‘em out of my head

Come on, come on baby
Baby baby baby please
Not going out like that
