I'm at that stage in life where when I wake up in the morning, nine times out of ten days, I'm most looking forward to going to sleep.
verse
They say Paris is dead
Lived through London and drank through Memphis
The things you live by were once just a guess
And there ain't no glory in the West
No, there ain't no glory in the West
verse
Hard to think on your feet
Tired of begging and just to compete
Shoot to win can feel so bittersweet
But you take what you can get
'Cause there ain't no glory in the West
chorus
Blazing on ahead
Burning through it
Coming down the bend
Nowhere left to go
Going's all we know
Riding past the best
Then there's still no rest
And there's still no rest
There ain't glory in the West
verse
What's a boy to do?
Hit the road with a dollar or two
Haunted by what he knows he can't do
Gets it off his chest
'Cause there ain't no glory in the West
chorus
Burning on ahead
Blazing through it
Running blind again
Nowhere left to go
Going's all we know
Riding past the best
And there's still no rest
And there's still no rest
And there's still no rest
'Cause there ain't no glory in the West
verse
"Count your blessings," they'll say
And after each midnight begins a new day
But don't place your bets on a word that they say
They'll put your life to rest
'Cause there ain't no glory in the West
outro
No there ain't no glory in the West
There ain't no glory in the West
