Wild Westerpades Video (MV)

Ever since I've been young, there was a sideways step
I put the pencil to paper till there was no more lead
Took a bullet to the teeth, chewed it up, spat it out
I rode my horse to the tavern
See what the fuss was about
Watched the fireworks once on an N.Y.E
Tried to be impressed, it disappointed me
Light in the sky, ear-piercing tune
Darling, what's so special? Every night there's a moon
Versus the sun in a battle, man, I'd pay-per-view
I met the sun last Sunday, was a down-to-earth dude
He whispered to me, never bet on red
I said if it weren't black, I would've gone to bed
But instead, I recaptured that moment of peace
Sitting 'round the fire, washboard on my knee
While Sam's playing Mozart out of key
I was a digital age Salvador Dali
With a cursor for a brush and pixels for paints
I'm sure that would really make the weird girls faint
I sat out in the test site, waiting for the lights
And if it landed on me, I'd give up my life
I was an archer, a gambler of songs
I played as Arthur, the ends were morg
I was a wrangler of men, I kept my feelings within
Then I forgot to press send, so I just emptied the bin
Help me up with a wink, while darling, what would you think
You peeked in the window, I was talking with a shrink
And in a moment of peace
I wish I could think about you
But with all that's going on in my head
I don't really get the chance to
I downplay the pain and run right through the coals
And my back gives way, it's cause I'm getting old
You have me threading the needle, peeling the paint
Hitchhiking bareback across the USA
But I have a question, would you answer it please?
If there's life and there's death, where does that leave me?
Because I don't feel alive, but I'm not dead yet
So I sit in the middle, being someone else's pet
And if the world is my oyster, why do I stay home?
And if there's overpopulation, why do I feel alone?
And if I were to fight you, would you not let me win
Because the odds are against me when I'm musky and thin
I was a cowboy slinger with a mission to kill
And I put oregano in a moonshot still
They drank it thorough and I made them drop dead
"The guy with the nose" is what the lawman said
I was a wanderer, a pirate of sorts
Got confused at a seaworld for a pair of board shorts
Misconception, mother nature in the trees
I slid so fast all the way on my knees
I lost all the kittens to no fault of my own
I suppose my care was at an all-time low
So bizarre, to say the least
There was no more room on the trampoline
We couldn't just bounce, man, we were all surrounded
Then I pulled out the hat, there's the cat, there I found it
As we escaped, I saw a man fill his cup
And we made it out alive, but it was just dumb luck
Dirty, dirty knees and a shotgun to match
I cooked up the shells for a brand new batch
While the bounty was high, I'll tell you, I was higher
I threw out a stick and set the board on fire
And in a moment of peace
I wish I could think about you
But with all that's going on in my head
I don't really get the chance to
And in a moment of peace
I wish I could think about you
But with all that's going on in my head
I don't really feel the need to
Don't really feel the need to
I don't really feel the need to
No, I don't really feel the need to
And no, I don't really feel, I don't feel the need
