Well I tried but I can't run no more Tell Katie it's her that I adore And as long as I love her best I'm that much further west And since she's been gone I've done less right than I've done wrong But I an't that much worse than the rest I'm just that much further west And the boys they don't need my help
They can play these songs by themselves Well I ain't that much worse than the rest I'm that much further west And the west is the only sky that's blue Tell Katie that I'll see her soon Until then the only thoughts that I have left Are that much further west
