Lyrics
Western Nights
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He’s never looked more beautiful
On his Harley in the parking lot
Breaking in to the ATMs
Sleeping naked when it gets too hot
I watched him show his love through shades of black and blue
Starting fights at the bar across the street like you do
The neighbors beat on the wall while I'm face-first in the bed
Show me how much I mean to you, while I'm lying in these sheets undressed
I’d hold the gun if you asked me to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to
Trouble’s always gonna find you baby
But so will I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
I'm never gonna leave you baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
'Cause you know I’ll be right there beside you
Riding through all these western nights
I haven’t spoken to my daddy in a long, long time
I don't want him to worry, always wondering if I'm alright
But the neighborhood keeps getting smaller
All starved out when the money's paper thin
All that's left are your walls and you'll die there
I should have known that there's no getting in
Trouble’s always gonna find you baby
But so will I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
I'm never gonna leave you baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
'Cause you know I’ll still be right behind you
Riding through all these western nights
Through these western nights
Crying in the light of the TV static
I'll still be alright
Clinging onto you like some love blind addict
I'll be screaming your name
Past the gas stations, trailing down the interstate
Please don't love how I need you
And know that one day, you and I could be ok
