The West Lyrics

I'm gonna buy me a pony, gonna ride it west

Gonna find me a warrior upon my quest

Gonna ask him how he sparked his fire

How he dried his tears after barbed wire

THE WEST ain't the way that it used to be

And your love ain't the same anymore

And though I bring you flowers and sing you songs

I'm standin' here outside your garden door

Lord, I'm tryin'

But your love is dyin' like the sun hangin' low

In THE WEST

We made love in the mountains, we danced on the plains

We swam in the rivers 'neath the driving rain

We plowed the fields and sowed our seeds

But, lookin' back, baby, it's all tumbleweeds

THE WEST ain't the way that it used to be

And your love ain't the same anymore

And though I bring you flowers and sing you songs

I'm standin' here outside your garden door

Lord, I'm tryin'

But your love is dyin' like the sun hangin' low

In THE WEST

And I feel like a settler whose lost his way

Who dropped his compass on a cloudy day

No stars above, no moon at night

No path ahead, no lover's light

THE WEST ain't the way that it used to be

And your love ain't the same anymore

And though I bring you flowers and sing you songs

I'm standin' here outside your garden door

Lord, I'm tryin'

But your love is dyin' like the sun hangin' low

In THE WEST
