| 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
|

| 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 |
