So you're drivin' away these miles So far away from your southern home Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State Make your way, seal your fate That's when you're gone away Where no one will hear you cry When you're late For that west Texas sky When you left home, I didn't think twice Oh, I knew, you had to roam I knew that life was getting you down You always feel alone when there's no one around But who gets cut when the knife is dull? And who gets lost when the map is full Nobody wins and nobody loses Just a handful of sorrows And too many excuses You wanted to walk beside the ocean Oh, and stand beside the sea And now you can't wait until tomorrow There's so much to do And so much to see (guitar instrumental) So you're drivin' away these miles So far away from your southern home Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State Make your way, seal your fate That's when you're gone away Where no one will hear you cry When you're late For that west Texas sky When you're late For that west Texas sky (2x) Mmmhmm When you're late For that west Texas sky For that west Texas sky
