Lyrics for Evacuation Of The West by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Evacuation Of The West | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 223 | | | | Lyrics: | It was on the day the cowboys were abandoned from the ranch
(It was on the day the cowboys were
banned from the range)
Middle touch world as a master
(Metal touched the world as a
master)
They rode their ponies down in the cities of gold
To leave them for ever
after
Now the sun was swollen red and old
The earth it was windy, dark and cold
Were the
highway ends the desert takes its toll
Sodusty, red and angry
It was a time when men died
out on the praire
From not having a decent friend
At nights the ghosts to the more of
riders
Was a howl in the candid winds
You can here them crying
Good God, I think
they're dying
When them rangers down in Dallas
Had all, but given it up and
left
And those that hang on hoping
Was trying their best to, to forget
The way those
outlaws and desperadoes
Right from the cheapest to the best
Rode in on ponies made of skin
and bones
Keep up their rusty guns and went back home
(Gave up their rusty guns and went
back home)
And the governor was sent down from Population Control
And marshall all was
past
(And marshal Law was passed)
Riverboat gamblers put their money on faith
For the
time for hope they passed
In the cold blue light of the desert night
There was a
thousand starry ships
And men came down from still I don't now where
With death on their
fingertips
Now there's no more kings in Texas
I swear they rounded up each and
everyone
And old Atlanta Canastoga
(And oh that line of Conestogas) - covered
wagons
Reached from the Rocky Mountains into the old dead sun
Now Anna Maria walks the
blames alone
(Now Anna Maria walks the plains alone)
The last of a struggling people
She
thinks of all tho | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
