Saddle Shoes

Shepard showed up when we were 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
