I wake up in the morning,
just glad my boots are on
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
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
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
Tonight the riders on Sunset
are smothered in the Santa Ana winds
C'mon and ride me down easy,
ride me down easy, friend
'Cause tonight the western stars are shining
