I-20 West

Often times when I tell folks where I'm from They say oh you're from Texas and I say no You see they built this one here on top of red clay beneath that ol' hot Georgia sun Now growing up in Dallas there wasn't much to do Nowhere for these six strings to go When I heard Atlanta is where the players play I said mama that's where I gotta' play too Well she said good luck son but if you lose your way trying to make it back home Always head west towards ol' Alabam and you'll begin to see some things you know Now those words have saved me more than a time or two It's those little things that we remember So when I'm lost and far away from you I know that I'm finally on my way home when I see I-20 West I got a little older and the road came a calling again I followed my heart right out of town I ended up in Florida thinking it's where I should be Maybe here is where I can settle down What I came there looking for I just couldn't find I said hey girl I've never been so lost So the next morning I packed all six of my strings And the tears didn't stop falling till I saw that sign for I-20 West I know sometimes we all can get a bit lost Make some bad decisions and everything goes wrong It's a damn struggle to get on your feet again Find yourself and get where you belong It's like at some point I must have took a hard left I came crashing right into this wall And just a few broke pieces is all I have left And I'm begging for that road back home Good ol' I-20 West I-20 West
