about
Words and music by Mike Surber
lyrics
WESTERN ENDEAVORS
blessed by the burning, I'm always returning to drink up the cold autumn air.
Despite all the guilty and rightfully filthy, she showers me clean with her hair.
Western endeavors from always to never cause even the heartless to care.
Til someone says "Ok, I've been there before and I've put on that show
but it's ok." Less may be more when you're dealing with soul.
Down to my skivvies, I untie her ribbons. I'm praying there's more to that look.
Justified since even I am convinced that I'll leave her with more than I took.
Western endeavors from always to never let even the worm off the hook
Til someone says "Ok, I've been there before and I've put on that show
but it's ok." Less may be more when you're dealing with soul.
I'm spilling your secrets, I know. But danger is hotter than taking off clothes.
Just let me be gone before I go, let me be gone before I go.
The Puget Sound whispers her roars, and the economy will never sink Cannery Row.
Just let me be gone before I go, let me be gone before I go.
