No Glory in the West

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 2] Hard to think on your feet Tired of beggin' 'em 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] Blazin' on ahead Burnin' through it Comin' down the bend Nowhere left to go Goin's all we know Ridin' past the best And there's still no rest And there's still no rest There ain't no glory in the west [Verse 3] 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] Burnin' on ahead Blazin' through it Runnin' blind again Nowhere left to go Goin's all we know Ridin' past the best And there's still no rest And there's still no rest And there's still no rest There ain't no glory in the west [Verse 4] "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 No, there ain't no glory in the west There ain't no glory in the west
