You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west A horse named Ford, '96 Tempo Close the doors and try to roll the windows up Before the seats get soakin' wet Turned on the wipers and hold my breath 94 West outside of Fargo Gotta get petrol, that's how the car go Cup full of truck stop coffee and a caramel roll The cashier lookin' like an art show And I could tell that she wanted to run away from here And she could tell that I ain't from here And even though it feels hopeless We both just a couple of ghosts tryin' to get to the coast We been through hell, ain't hard to tell We can't save each other until we save ourselves I complimented her tattoos and bounced Keep your head high and your wheels on the ground Westbound You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west Listen, I might've wrote this in Billings If you ain't fishin', then don't catch feelings I'm tryin' not to hit my head on the ceiling That's why I recline till it looks like I'm leanin' on the back seat Weavin' in and out of traffic like a taxi But I don't have any passengers It's only me like it's supposed to be Come on Maxi Priest, you're too close to me Woke up in Bozeman, it's calm and frozen But the sunshine brighter than a bomb's explosion Stopped at the lobby to drop the key Mommy at the front desk lookin' at me like she wanna be free Join the club, everybody lookin' for the coin or the love But the rub is that it's never enough I complimented her boots and then bounced Before she replied, I already left town Westbound You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west (I'm down to go anywhere) You tryin' to go west (I'm tryin' to get away from here) You tryin' to go west Maybe I'm gone, maybe I don't belong Maybe I got it all wrong Maybe I'm outside but still withdrawn Tryin' to write about life through the filter of a song Maybe when you're first in line it works fine Maybe it's about how you interpret the sign Maybe this is how I pass the time Like I'm travelin' westbound to go back in time Maybe that bartender never existed Maybe the waitress was somebody different Maybe my hallucinations are related To the parts we erased out of my imagination Yeah, maybe I imagined it all Project my thoughts on a random wall In this bathroom stall in an abandoned mall But don't trip, I'll see you next fall Westbound Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
