lyrics

West

Lord knows I’ve been roaming
I’m always walking out the door
Hell knows what I’ve been searching for
It ain’t money, or whiskey
that shit just doesn’t treat me right, and I’ve seen it wreck too many lives.
All these drunks say “boy, if you’re leaving you must be running from something”
Old friend, no it ain’t like that,
I swear I travel towards the right path,
Or I’m on my way to find it,
oh, I’ll send a postcard when these feet quit moving,
until then I can promise nothing.
I’ve no address where I am heading—
unsure if I will be

Coming back—a restless heart driving west.
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed.
Desert heat on the back of my neck,
sweating working for something I can’t define yet.
I keep driving west

I ain’t like my friends from high school.
I didn’t find the one so easily, didn’t marry young.
I ain’t had a sweetheart since 19
I didn’t build a life ditching dreams to feed kids and a wife.
And I ain’t no jukebox hero:
no Tommy, or Eddie, those names you’ve heard in classic songs.
Don’t want to be famous, just some funds to tramp on
I’m but a poor, broken man—all I got are these words
They ain’t brilliant but they're mine. They stay with me when I cross state lines.
Unlike people who give up on me in time, cause they know I ain’t

Coming back—a restless heart driving west.
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed.
Running high on credit card debt, and some face I can’t forget
I keep driving west

Coming back—a restless heart driving west.
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed.
Growing older still looking for answers I doubt I’ll ever get
Still I keep coming back—oh, driving west.
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed.
Alone on the road with these chords that I wrote, ain’t nothing I regret.
I’ll keep driving
Driving
Driving
West...
