Once Upon A Time In The West Lyrics

Lyric discussion by willard 

Cover art for Once Upon A Time In The West lyrics by Dire Straits

i dont think its about the wild west as such but possibly uses the wild west as a metaphor for londons west end. there are ample clues in the song telling us that hes talking about modren life; sunday driver, driving test, driving on the grass. see also the song wild west end from same album
