Western Nights Lyrics by Ethel Cain
He’s never looked more beautiful
On his Harley, in the parkin’ lot
Breakin’ in to the ATMs
Sleepin’ naked when it gets too hot
I watched him show his love
Through shades of black and blue
Startin’ fights at the bar across the street like you do
The neighbors beat on the walls
While I’m face-first in the bed
Show me how much I mean to you
While I’m lyin’ in these sheets, undressed
I’d hold the gun if you asked me to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to?
Trouble’s always gonna find you, baby
But so will I
Cryin’ only because I’m happy
Hold me across every state line
I’m never gonna leave you, baby
Even if you lose what’s left of your mind
‘Cause you know I’ll be right there beside you
Ridin’ through all these western nights
I haven’t spoken to my daddy in a long, long time
I don’t want him to worry, always wonderin’ if I’m alright
But the neighborhood keeps gettin’ smaller (And smaller)
All starved out when the money’s paper thin
All that’s left are your walls and you’ll die there
I should have known that there’s no gettin’ in
(Ah, ah-ah) Trouble’s always gonna find you, baby
But so will I
Cryin’ only because I’m happy
Hold me across every state line
I’m never gonna leave you, baby
Even if you lose what’s left of your mind
‘Cause you know I’ll still be right behind you
Ridin’ through all these western nights
Through these western nights
Cryin’ in the light of the TV static
I’ll still be alright
Clingin’ onto you like some love blind addict
I’ll be screaming your name
Past the gas stations, trailing down the interstate
Please don’t love how I need you
And know that one day, you and I could be okay
