Tom Mcrae - How The West Was Won lyrics

Light me a smoke I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won Flew over diamonds East river shining A city sinking in the mud And in a second A life-long second I knew what we'd become We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Searching for the crowded hour Now there's a buzzing in the wires Look for lightning in your eyes And I see it there Hey hey Rockstar Let's play happy This could be our final hour I'll take your picture But who needs pictures? They only strip you of your power Don't lose your nerve now Feel the curve of the earth now Rising up to meet your feet We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Never find the crowded hour It's time to move the saints again Curse the sun to k** the rain I wish I knew just how We should have driven Out to the ocean Our hands tied to the wheel Now something's broken Don't know what's broken Or if I want it healed We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Where the hell's the crowded hour Scattered thoughts and promises Let the wind take all that's left There's nothing for you here So take a card and put it back Hide the faces cut the pack The future's not that clear Light me a smoke I'll tell you a stroy Of how the west was won You wanted glory Well here's your glory Just look what we've become
