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 gl-ss
shootin’ shadows in the canyon
waitin’ for the pain to p-ss
