No Glory in the West

No Glory in the West - Orville Peck

Lyrics by：Orville Peck/Duncan Hay Jennings

Composed by：Orville Peck/Duncan Hay Jennings

They say Paris is dead

Lived through London and drank through Memphis

The things you live by were once just a guess

And there ain't no glory in the west

No there ain't no glory in the west

Hard to think on your feet

Tired of beggin' 'em just to compete

Shoot to win can feel so bittersweet

But you take what you can get

'Cause there ain't no glory in the west

Blazin' on ahead

Burnin' through it

Comin' down the bend

Nowhere left to go

Goin's all we know

Ridin' past the best

And there's still no rest

And there's still no rest

There ain't no glory in the west

What's a boy to do

Hit the road with a dollar or two

Haunted by what he knows he can't do

Gets it off his chest

'Cause there ain't no glory in the west

Burnin' on ahead

Blazin' through it

Runnin' blind again

Nowhere left to go

Goin's all we know

Ridin' past the best

And there's still no rest

And there's still no rest

And there's still no rest

There ain't no glory in the west

Count your blessings they'll say

And after each midnight begins a new day

But don't place your bets on a word that they say

They'll put your life to rest

'Cause there ain't no glory in the west

No there ain't no glory in the west

There ain't no glory in the west
