Вступление
Gonna saddle my horse in the darkness,ride out in the morning dew
Breathe some air that's never been breathed.
I want to drink the wine of freedom, toast the good ones that we knew
I want to count a million stars and think of you.
Want to see one more hometown rodeo where it's hat's off for the flag.
We'll cheer that bucking horse and the wild ride.
I'm gonna shoot a hole in my TV set and let the silence ring on through;
I want to count a million stars and think of you.
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that the West is dead and gone
My poor heart can't stand to hear that sad old song
If you're sayin' that you missed it all, I'm bettin' that you're wrong
Don't tell me it's dead and gone.
[Verse 2]
Want to see one more Charlie Russell print in some old sale barn cafe
Where the old men over coffee tell their tales.
I want to ride out with the wagon, smell the scent of springtime sage
I want the wind at my back on down the trail.
Want to see suntanned cowgirl cheeks and long braids 'neath her hat;
want to hear the summer rain on the roof at a country dance.
Then we'll ride out our raggin' storm 'til the light comes shining through,
and then I'll count a million stars and think of you.
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that the West is dead and gone
My poor heart can't stand to hear that sad old song
If you're sayin' that you missed it all, I'm bettin' that you're wrong
Don't tell me it's dead and gone.
Don't tell me it's dead and gone.
