more flotsam

more Jetsons

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
