My roommate was sleeping
I took his keys and $100
Headed out till his car broke down outside of Tombstone
Went on a bender
I ended up in the can
No use calling anyone, they gave up on me years ago
The West is sprawling from the Northwest central valley away
I lived in Las Vegas then I made my way through the Sunbelt states
The West is sprawling it's falling just as hard as I am
Got a job in a warehouse in L.A.
Growing faster now than rows
I was loading boxes that no one needs and I can't afford
Once again I give up and leave before I even begin
The West is falling
The Water Wars have just begun
And the West is falling
Just strip malls and planned estates
The west is falling
Falling just as fast as I am
I ended up in the back of a truck with a guy who had two black eyes
He was drunk and laughing
At an Indian Casino
Maybe they'll finally get their revenge
Took a drink and he laughed again
The West is sprawling from the Northwest central valley away
I lived in Las Vegas then I made my way through the Sunbelt states
The West is falling
The Water Wars have just begun
Wait until the aquifers are done
And the West is falling
The West is falling
The West is falling
