have you ever seen
stars like these
with a night like this
wishing it could last for weeks
and i’m convinced that
soon you’ll see
these summer leaves turn
to a winter breeze
[Chorus]
i will show you the country and all its secrets
like why these lights burn out so quick
have you ever seen
roads like these
with a sky so bright
from the western light
and i’ve foreseen
a new family
forged from blood and bone
just off the coast
so put a record on
they say it soothes the soul
and takes us back in time
when we walked in fields of gold
with the radio playing these random hits
we’ll move onto a western view
[Chorus]
tonight we ride,
to fight
we’ll drop our heads real slow into the ground
that’s frozen cold and breathe it in
and move our limbs to make those wings begin
again and wait and see what
tomorrow brings
and we will feast and fight and tell tales
of hangmen heroes lovers and pawns.
