lyrics

We were the losers; didn’t care about nothing except the songs and the stages, and girls where we played, but forgot. I wasn’t saying that it didn’t hurt though. But some things are made for losing. You got to learn to put your dues in. You got to learn to get away and not get caught. So it’s one more night I don’t have to hide it, the poison’s running steady through me now. I take my time in a city near the mountain, where my whole life I’ve doubted that the west was made of gold. I still remember being little boys in the hot Nebraska sun. Just lighting firecrackers off in an alley, dreaming about the men we’d become. Before time rose its suspicion of my life out on the run from these deadlines and commitments, and suicide’s grip, got me feeling that the west had been won. Oh, long before you and I, you and I even arrived. I never took the time to say that I need you by my side. So just for tonight, brother, let’s sing it loud, like there’s one more night I don’t have to hide it. The poison’s running steady thru me now. So I take my time in a city near the mountain where my whole life I’ve doubted that the west was made of gold.
