[Verse 1]
G D G
I'm obsessed with the west, that ruleless old gal
Em C D7 G
Always coming or going, she can't be corralled
Em C D7 G
Her buzzing cicadas, her chalky white rocks
G C G
Her high dancing grasses, her black buzzard flocks
[Verse 2]
G D G
I'm obsessed with the west, her tough leaning trees
Em C D7 G
Her hawks on her high lines, her core-reaching freeze
Em C D7 G
Her murderous hailstorms, her squalls and cyclones
G C G
Her blooming pink cactus, her weather-bleached bones
[Interlude]
G C G
[Verse 2]
G D G
Oh it's her I can't keep from, that old love affair
Em C D7 G
Though she pelts me with sleet and ties knots in my hair
Em C D7 G
I'm obsessed with the west, that rugged old broad
G C G
That unbroke wild pony, that opus of god
