West

Look at you and me I never thought we’d be

going broke on good coffee

Packed up all these bags and headed to the west

where the restless souls are free

or it’s a test for souls like me

who just reflect what we think we’ll see

I see you wore that jacket in front of all your friends

What you think they’re thinking now?

The queen you play on screen and stage ain’t just pretend

Do you think you took your bow?

Out west they’ll never raise a brow

At least I hear anyhow

And I wouldn’t trade you for them

Though it would be easier to bend

than break this day and say farewell

Looking at the needle’s slow and steady climb 

as the sides of the world become a mist

I never thought I’d need my slow and steady side

But you’re so hard to resist

And now I only clench this fist

Around this wheel that steers me west

No I wouldn’t trade you for them

Oh it would be easier to bend

But I’d rather break this day in your arms than say

Farewell

So we head west…
