Shadow of the West Lyrics

He rides through the dust with a heart full of scars

Chasing the wind beneath the Texas stars

The road's long and winding but he keeps on the track

With every mile behind him there's no turning back

The sun sets low the fire's burnin' bright

But he's just a shadow in the dead of the night

He's a man of the West with a restless soul

A heart full of fire but he's paid the toll

He's been broken but he won't fall

Ridin' in the shadow of the West standing tall

The dust on his boots tells a story untold

Of battles fought and hearts turned cold

The whiskey's his friend the night's his home

He never stays still always on the roam

The stars watch over the wind whispers his name

But he's just a ghost playin' the same game

He's a man of the West with a restless soul

A heart full of fire but he's paid the toll

He's been broken but he won't fall

Ridin' in the shadow of the West standing tall

[Guitar Solo]

Through the storms and the pain he rides on through

With a spirit unbroken and a soul that's true

The world keeps turnin' but he won't be swayed

He's a cowboy born for the price he's paid

He's a man of the West with a restless soul

A heart full of fire but he's paid the toll

He's been broken but he won't fall

Ridin' in the shadow of the West standing tall

So the dust will settle but the man remains

A shadow in the West forever unchained

Through the battles and storms he'll never rest

He'll ride until he's found peace in the West
