Western World
Lee Kernaghan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And embers and raining on tin roofs.
Your world is sealed with moon beams, beneath the starry sky, and all I wanna do is
Be with you tonight.
I wanna feel your world around me, and breathe in every sight, and ride with you
Beneath the summer sky, I wanna feel your world surround me if it's the only thing I
Do.
Your world is distant thunder, and wildflowers after rain, it's desolate and beautiful, its laughter and its pain.
But your world is keep your distance, should someone break your heart,
And all I wanna do, is take you in my arms.
I wanna feel your world around me, and breathe in every sight, and ride with you
Beneath the summer sky, I wanna feel your world surround me if it's the only thing I
Do.
I wanna break into your western world.
I wanna feel you around me, and breathe in your sight, and lie with you, beneath the summer sky,
As long as these plains go on forever ill be loving you
I wanna break into, your western world.
Wanna break into you world, and be with you tonight, I wanna take you in my arms, beneath the summer sky.
Your western world
In your western world.
The lyrics of Lee Kernaghan's song "Western World" describe a desire to be a part of someone's world that is surrounded by the beauty of nature and the ruggedness of the Western lifestyle. The song's protagonist expresses a longing to be with someone who exists in an environment of open plains, horse hooves, thunder, and rain on tin roofs. The appeal of this individual's way of life is the freedom it represents, where the world is sealed with moonbeams beneath the starry sky. The singer wishes to experience this world and be a part of it, even if it's just for one night.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of the Western world being one of both hardship and beauty that is both desolate and beautiful in equal measure. It is a place where laughter and pain coexist, and where keeping one's distance is necessary not to get hurt. Despite this distance, the singer yearns to hold this person in their arms and be a part of the Western world they inhabit.

on Hat Town
Intro
I was born in a hat town
Raised on the Warrego
It’s hot out here but you tough it out
Like an old Brigalow
From the back of the Channel country
Across the western plains
The roads are straight and dusty
And the folks are much the same
Chorus:
Roots run strong deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
Well it might be Thargominda; Might be Barky Downs
Theres a pub and a store and not much more, you’re living in an old hat town
Stocking out in the heat haze, half mile 60 zone
Just a rag tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
Theres a swag with stories, most of them are true
How the locals pass the hat around and pull each other through
Chorus
Instrumental
Well we're roustabouts and drovers; we're bushies tried and true
And we're out here for the long haul; not just blowin' through
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
From the back of the Channel Country, and across the Dusty Downs
There's a pub and a store and not much more, you’re living in an old hat town
Yeah
Todelay heeeee
Livin in a hat town
Livin in an old hat town
Yodelay heeeee
Livin in a hat town
Livin in an old hat town
Please delete earlier comment which misspelt Thargominda
