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
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're late
For that west Texas sky
For that west Texas sky
Mmmhmm
When you're late
For that west Texas sky
For that west Texas sky
