Ricky Warwick - That's Where the Story Ends lyrics

[Verse 1] Kemosabe tears his facemask off It don't work ‘round here no more All the townsfolk know his real name All the townsfolk know the score He's just another lost and found On the trail where heroes strolled At night he drives his kids back home Along the Eagle Road The uniform don't fit the crime Even Tonto rides behind The mystery masked cowboy Way too much upon his mind See he took to drinkin' heavy When the shadows start to fall His lady tired of waitin' up Washin' bloodstains off her wall It's not like in the movies It's not like he's got friends If he didn't pay the Indian That's where the story ends Everyone still needs him When the villain comes to town When the bad guys come a callin' He's good to have around But the years of chasin' outlaws Standin' up alone Means his children send ‘im letters Sometimes call him on the phone When the dirty work is over When the smoke has cleared the air There's an awful lot to talk about With someone that just ain't there [Chorus] It's not like in the movies It's not like he's got friends If he didn't pay the Indian That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends [Bridge] (Ah) He's got a reputation, appearances to keep (Ah) He's high on medication Strung out from lack of sleep (Ah) He shoulda been a farmer or a fireman on the trains (Ah) There's a whirlwind in his stomach as he pulls back on the reins See I'm gettin' older, Tonto And I don't know what to do When the bounty checks start dryin' up And I'm left with me and you We all start off as heroes We all start off as friends We all want to be in movies Still alive towards the end We all want a bag of dollars The girl there by our side But most of us die wantin' Caught with nowhere left to hide [Chorus] It's not like in the movies It's not like he's got friends If he didn't pay the Indian That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends That's where the story ends [Outro] The Lone Ranger rides again tonight From the bottle to the gla** Shootin' shadows in the canyon Waitin' for the pain to pa**
