A pilot's son won't fly
So it's a two-day drive
Kissed his brave new wife goodbye
The road ends in a fence
She flies off overhead
He starts his lonely trip out west
Western sky
The miles go by
She'll always get there first
And I'll always arrive
Meet you there
You take care
I love that look you get
Before you say goodbye
His conscience waits for dark
Like an AM radio song
Fades in reflected off the clouds
After his father crashed
He moved his family back
And vowed to never leave the ground
Western sky
Between the signs
I'm spelling out your name
In neon passing by
Meet you there
Saturday
Now you be careful love
The road can hypnotize
An exit in the rain
She answered before it rang
But he can only say her name
Western sky
He laughs then sighs
I'm only halfway home
And stopping for the night
Glad you're there
You know my fear
I need those words you say
Before you say goodbye
