Well the sun rose fast on his whiskey smile
He waved goodbye to the west and held on for a while
He said we don't need this town no more.
There's things ahead worth seeing and there's trials to fill the sky
If we stay we're still just dreaming if we don't get out and ride
He said kicking dirt is just kicking dust
'Till you're headed fast on an outbound bus
And my heart is a million miles away.
Remember me, I'm coming back
Who knows how long, who knows how long
But I'm as good as gone anyway.
My feet won't tire from walking and my throat will always sting,
But there ain't no road that's long enough to beat me.
