How the West Was Won - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra & Erich Kunzel

If I ever get really depressed I'll download Tor, buy a suicide vest Leave a dirty bomb at a Wall Street address Gatecrash a Rothschild party and leave it in a mess In a mess Dirty mess It started out to beacon of hope But the dream of living quickly turned into a joke The Indians and Mexicans were the first to feel the rope The blade, the Gatlin', Wagon trains came rattlin', murdered Buffalo, block cattle in Storm clouds were gatherin' It's how the West was won It's how the West was won At the point of a gun Like they've always done Just like everybody else I'm in love with Kim Kardashian She's taken over from J. Lo as my number one Even though I know She's just a bum In another timeline I would have stared at her all day long Without ever wantin' to see her from the front God knows I love America It's the stigma you help to propagate In every sense you are profligate Even your parents ran away from home to escape you Your best friends all hate you I don't mean to devastate you It's how the West was won It's how the West was won Head on the spike of a gun Like you've always done It's no mystery It's your history It's what you've always done

Rolling like a freight train through the night I can't get your scent off my skin I'm a loser girl, that's how I live my Life I wish I knew just how to treat you right...! Oh I need some medicine, I feel your body next to him, Locked like lovers in the night I better prepare for another hard drinking night! What would whiskey do? You won't make things right! I better get my gun Is that how the west was won? Is that just what I've become? I sure would like to think it ain't my fault. How could I blame anybody else!?! I'm a Fuck-Up Girl, that's how I live my life. I wish I knew just how to treat you right...! Walk along the avenues, There's no drinking 'way these blues, This is how's life's wrecking balls, Can't control myself for what I say or what I do. Shall I end it all? Well it won't bring me back to you! Well I better get my gun! Is that how the west was won? Is that just what I've become? Oo Ooooo! Oo Ooooo! Train's rolling off the tracks! Oo Ooooo! Oo Ooooo! Anything to get you back! Rolling like a freight train through the night! I can't get your scent right off my skin! Well I better get my gun! Is that how the west was won? Is that just what I've become!

Was the year the west was burning, I Was on a mountain sleeping I Woke up a-dreaming About you I was walking down a road of dust and bones and ash and following a burning set of tracks that led to you I still see the fire in your stare I still think I coulda burned up there Out the window there are fields of wheat in Kansas that Roll out forever under ever underneath the sun If I could lie there for a moment I Could feel your arms around me I Could feel the spinning round the spinning Sun Roll on through the wheat and roll on by Touch of green against a deep September turquoise sky (You and I) When all the glory you could somehow shove inside A bottle doesn't seem to fill the empty cup inside Your soul and all the winding roads you used to Follow never seem to get you halfway where you Want to think you need to go Times of trouble, times of grace and ease Mama always said there'd be days like these And if wishin' was a-walkin And a-thinkin Was a-talkin I'd be walkin', and a-talkin' Back to you And if I could be a river winding down a mountain I Would twist and curl and turn and tumble Down to You Tell you stories told by mountains and tall trees Tell you maybe this is one of these Was the year the west was burning, I Was on a mountain sleeping I Woke up a-dreaming About you

How the web was woven In my soul, don't you know How the web was woven Can't get loose, can't let go Like the weave of a spider Wound around my heart I'm no longer free At last I'm where you want me Don't you know, that's where I wanna be? Spinning 'round like a blue fly Thoughts of you fill my head And no matter, oh how I try I can't sleep in my bed I've been round for the last time Oh, girl, what can I do? Oh, the time the web was woven How I fell in love, fell in love with you I've been round for the last time Oh, girl, what can I do? Oh, the time the web was woven How I fell in love, fell in love with you Oh, the time the web was woven How I fell in love, I fell in love with you

Sometimes I get caught up in my head But you were very kind, very kind My, my, you were close enough to touch And that was very nice It's on my mind Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Sometimes there is a weight upon my chest And not a pleasent kind, pleasent kind My, my, you were stronger than me then And I was much obliged How much longer now? Tell me what you're thinking about I'm still young and full of doubts Smile before you take me down Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Feel the wind, darling I think your love's sinking in And I could swim now that I love somebody Now that I love somebody Now that I love somebody
