Westward

Rain coming in my window
Sleeping in someone else's bed
Forgot how long I've been gone
But no one's worried about me yet
I'll start walking westward
And I'll be home by summertime

I left town at six this morning
Forgot to say goodbye
I doubt she'll be missing me
But she was kind enough to lie
It's lonely walking westward
But I'll be home by summertime

Ain't no highway could bring me down
And no one's waiting up for me in town
Just a tourniquet as my spirit spills out
All along this road
If only I knew where to go

I stopped in the city
With time to look around
I don't know my destination
But I know where I'm bound
I keep walking westward
I'll be home by summertime

Ain't no highway could bring me down
And no one's waiting up for me in town
Just a tourniquet as my spirit spills out
All along this road
If only I knew where to go

Ain't no highway could bring me down
And no one's waiting up for me in town
Just a tourniquet as my spirit spills out
All along this road
If only I knew where to go

I just hit the ocean
God, it's been years
No breeze is quite as heavy
No lake is quite as clear
Ain't no further westward
I'll call it home for summertime

Ain't no highway could bring me down
And I'm sure there's a lot to see in town
The future's just a mile marker
Somewhere down the road
Come winter, maybe I'll try Mexico
