So you're drivin' away these miles
|
So far away from your southern home
|
Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State
|
Make your way, seal your fate
|
|
That's when you're gone away
|
Where no one will hear you cry
|
When you're late
|
For that west Texas sky
|
|
When you left home, I didn't think twice
|
Oh, I knew, you had to roam
|
I knew that life was getting you down
|
You always feel alone when there's no one around
|
But who gets cut when the knife is dull?
|
And who gets lost when the map is full
|
Nobody wins and nobody loses
|
Just a handful of sorrows
|
And too many excuses
|
|
You wanted to walk beside the ocean
|
Oh, and stand beside the sea
|
And now you can't wait until tomorrow
|
There's so much to do
|
And so much to see
|

When you're late
|
For that west Texas sky [x2]
|
|
Mmmhmm
|
|
When you're late
|
For that west Texas sky
|
For that west Texas sky
