I wake up in the morning
F G G4 G
just glad my boots are on

Instead of empty in the whispering grasses

down the Five at Forest Lawn

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

Tonight the western stars
F G
are shining bright again

Here in the canyons above Sunset
F G G4 G
the desert don't give up the fight
Em
A coyote with someone's Chihuahua

in its teeth skitters 'cross
my veranda in the night

Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her Mojito
F G G4 G
down at the Whiskey Bar

Smiles and says she thinks she remembers me
F G
from that commercial with the credit card

Hell, these days there ain't no more

Tonight the western stars
F G
are shining bright again

Some days I take my El Camino

throw my saddle in and go

and bring the old ways with them

are shining bright again

are shining bright again

in the Santa Ana winds
