I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on
                        Em        
Instead of empty in the whispering
       F                        G
grasses down the Five at Forest Lawn
                       Em         
On the set, the makeup girl brings
  F                           G   G4 G
me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
Then I give it all up for that little
Em                     F                             G    G4 G

Here in the canyons above Sunset, the

desert don't give up the fight
                           Em       
A coyote with someone's Chihuahua in
                  F                         G
its teeth skitters 'cross my veranda in the night
                         Em           
Some lost sheep from Oklahoma sips her
  F                        G   G4 G
Mojito down at the Whiskey Bar
                                 Em     
Smiles and says she thinks she remembers
            F                           G
me from that commercial with the credit card

Some days I take my El Camino, throw my saddle in and go
                             Em      F                    G
East to the desert where the charros, they still ride and rope
