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
Ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
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
Hell, these days there ain´t no more, now there´s just again
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
Sundays 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
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, and the riders in the whirlwind
Tonight the western stars are shining bright again And the western stars are shining bright again
Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds 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
Sur le plateau, la maquilleuse m’apporte deux œufs crus et un verre de gin Puis je laisse tout tomber pour cette petite pilule bleue Qui promet de tout ramener de nouveau vers toi
