Lived through London and drank through Memphis

The things you live by were once just a guess

But you take what you can get

Blazin’ on ahead

What’s a boy to do?
G                  Am                    Em
Hit the road with a dollar or two
G                         Am                         Em
Haunted by what he knows he can’t do
Em    G    Am    Em
Gets it off his chest

’Cause there ain’t no glory in the west

[Chorus]
C             G             D
Burnin’ on ahead

Blazing through it

Runnin’ blind again
Nowhere left to go, goin’s all we know

Ridin’ past the best
G       Am         Em        D
And there’s still no rest

There ain’t no glory in the west

“Count your blessings” they’ll say
G                                     Am                         Em
And after each midnight begins a new day
G                                                             Am
But don’t place your bets on a word that they say
Em
They’ll put your life to rest
G                         Am                       Em
’Cause there ain’t no glory in the west
G             Am                         Em

There ain’t no glory in the west
