text: 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 dont 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 aint no more, now there’s just again
  Tonight the western stars are shining bright again
  Some days 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 scenes bought me a thousand drinks, set me up and tell it for you, friend
  Heres to the cowboys, 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
  And the western stars are shining bright again
  Cmon and ride me down easy, ride me down easy, friend
  Cause tonight the western stars are shining bright again
  I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on
