Gone West

Headed out to California

Gone west to see the sun

There's a fortune here if you got time, but I've found mine

Buried in the gold hair she spun

Sailing off to search the islands

Gone west for something new

Found Paniolo and wave riders, but chose neither

Picked the sweetest sugar cane they grew

I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed

I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea

Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah

I've gone west, bring the best back with me

I've gone west, bring the best back with me

I chased the light to Amarillo

Where the wild horses run

Caught a painted angel moonrise, kinda spitfire

Like a bullet from a smoking gun

Going back to mama's homeland

Playing in the field dreams

I was looking where the corn grows and the skies glow

And I found the beauty in between

I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed

I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea

Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah

I've gone west, bring the best back with me

I've gone west, bring the best back with me

And I follow the faded light

'Til the stars on my map at night

And if you come to get me and my house is empty

It's safe to guess

I've gone west

I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed

I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea

Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah

I've gone west, bring the best back with me

I've gone west, bring the best back with me
