On The Western Skyline lyrics


B. R. Hornsby/John Hornsby

About this time of evening, out by the bay
They turn the roadlights on the bridge
A diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound
Lovers glad the sun has set
I m staring into the twilight
Wishing I could find someone tonight

I know she s out there somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer
On the western skyline

The rooftops sag on second street
Bachelor s quarters, too much fun,
not enough fun
The kite s still hanging on the wire
Waiting on the wind
Too many dreams, not enough hope
Voices on my radio
Telling me where I should go

I know she s out there somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer
On the western skyline

They ll set up on the bandstand
When the sailors hear the whistle blow
Underneath the streetlight
Violence in the afterglow

Give me a shiny Cadillac
Close your eyes past that city limits sign
He s got the admiral s daughter in the back
Trying to cross her battle line
As I m staring into the twilight
Wishing I could be with her tonight

I know she s out there somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer
On the western skyline
