Western Nights Songtext
He's never looked my way before
On his Harley in the parking lot
Breaking into the ATMs
Sleeping naked when he gets too hot
The neighbors beat on the wall
While I'm face-first in the bed
Show me how much I mean to you
While I'm lying in these sheets undressed

I'd hold the gun if you asked me to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to?

Trouble's always gonna find you baby
But so am I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
I'm never gonna leave you, baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
Cause you know I'll be right there beside you
We lie under on these western nights

I haven't spoken to my daddy
In a long, long time
I don't want him to worry, but he knows I'll be alright
But the neighbourhood keeps getting smaller
All starved out when the money's paper thin
All that's left are your walls and you'll die there
I should have know that there's no getting in
Trouble's always gonna find you baby
But so am I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
I'm never gonna lose you, baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
Cause you know I'll still be right behind you
Underneath these western skies

Through these western nights
Crying in the light of the TV static
I'll still be alright
Clinging onto you like some love-blind addict
I'll be screaming your name
Past the gas station trailing down the interstate
Please don't love how I need you
And know that one day, you can I could be ok
