Protégé Songtext
von Honeycut

Speeding down a lullaby of how do we lie?
Town to town as I look around and neglect to see the light
Picking up passengers trying to kill some time
Coast to coast, I want to make the most of this ride

All I want is for somebody to bring me through to the other side
I′d like to thank you for your endeavor
Even if it don't fly, we′ll try

Sheila was a vagabond from out of state
Now she sits alone I said wait
You could be my protégé, my last hurrah
Fifty fifty, we'll split the dope and move on


All I want is for somebody to bring me through to the other side
Oh, in one career you can get so near
Even if it don't fly, we′ll try

This is how the west was won
This is how we get things done
We′ve been having so much fun
This is how the west was won

Now she's at the catch me out on Bourbon street, singing and misbehaving for nobody
Me I′m like a satellite with eyes of steel looking around for something to feel

All I want is for somebody to bring me through to the other side
I'd like to thank you for your endeavor
Even if it don′t fly, we'll try

This is how the west was won
This is how we get things done
We′ve been having so much fun
This is how the west was won
