Western Stars Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

[Verse 1] 

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 

[Chorus] 

Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend 

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again 

[Verse 2] 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

[Chorus] 

Hell, these days there ain't no more, now there's just again 

Tonight the western stars are shining bright again 

[Verse 3] 

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 

[Verse 4] 

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 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Outro] 

I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on
