this is your west
he wears brown boots on his feet
and a bull's eye over his heart
crickets chirp out a love worn
melody to accompany his walking rhythm
he's got no horse
no luggage but the sack slung over his
bending breaking back
he squints his eyes at the red sun and the flat
plain and he grips the
bottle of whiskey
between calloused hands and
the blisters,
god, well, they hurt sometimes but
he's learned to live with them
he'll walk the road to
heaven's gate/
hell's dark dreary hot
