Western Sky

A pilot's son won't fly So it's a two-day drive Kissed his brave new wife goodbye The road ends in a fence She flies overhead He starts his lonely trip out west Western sky The miles go by She'll always get there first And I'll always arrive Meet you there You take care I love that look you get Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye His conscience waits for dark Like an AM radio song Fades in reflected off the clouds After his father crashed He moved his family back And vowed to never leave the ground Western sky Between the signs I'm spelling out your name In neon passing by Meet you there Saturday Now you be careful love The road can hypnotize The road can hypnotize The road can hypnotize And exit in the rain She answered before it rang But he can only say her name Western sky He laughs then sighs I'm only half way home And stopping for the night Glad you're there You know my fear I need those words you say Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye
