Bruce Springsteen | Western Stars (Western Stars, 2019)

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

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 tell it for you, friend

Here’s to the cowboys, and the riders in the whirlwind 
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again 
And the western stars are shining bright again

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

Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds 
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

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
