The Hold Steady - Saddle Shoes lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Saddle Shoes lyrics]
Wrapping up the counting up
He's coming off some problem block
Later at some party all the girls
Want to talk a lot
We're sleeping at the saddle shop
It's been that kind of summer
We tried to stay with your
Sister now we're staying wherever
It's been fifteen days but
It feels like forever
The Wild West begins where your body ends
So keep your bandages clean
The Wild West begins right
Where your body ends
Blacked out in blue jeans
Shepard showed up then somebody
Took a couple shots
The neighbors went and called the cops
Didn't make a difference when the owners
Came and changed the locks
We still sleep at the saddle shop
It's been that kind of summer
We tried to stay with your
Sister now we're staying wherever
She appeared faithless in
Fringes and feathers
It's been fifteen days but
It feels like forever
The Wild West begins where your body ends
So keep your bandages clean
The Wild West begins right
Where your body ends
Blacked out in blue jeans
I never rode a horse but I'm
Sleeping at the saddle shop
Man this whole summer's been strange
The Wild West begins where your body ends
Rough riders on the wide open ranges
Upstairs at some hescher's apartment
Underneath some posters of panthers
That one guy in camouflage dancing
Eyes shut with his arms out like Christ
The other guy was licking his knife
And then it went white
Oh, the wide open spaces
Wild western and faithless
Met this guy in the parking lot
This guy I've seen at the saddle shop
Over the walls of the castle
Nine stitches and bandages
Met this guy in the blinding light
He was shaking pretty hard
But he seemed alright seemed pretty nice
And then it went white
The Wild West begins where your body ends
So keep your bandages clean
The Wild West begins right
Where your body ends
Blacked out in blue jeans
I never rode a horse but I'm
Sleeping at the saddle shop
And so are most of my friends
The Wild West begins right
Where your body ends
That's where the Wild West begins
