Gone West

[Verse 1]

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 golden hair she spun

Sailin' off to search the islands

Gone west for somethin' new

Found paniolo and wave riders, but chose neither

Picked the sweetest sugar cane they grew

[Chorus]

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 to bring the best back with me

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

[Verse 2]

I chased the light to Amarillo

Where the wild horses run

Caught a painted-angel moonrise, kinda spitfire

Like a bullet from a smokin' gun

Goin' back to mama's homeland

Playin’ in the field of dreams

I was lookin’ where the corn grows and the skies glow

And I found your beauty in between

[Chorus]

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 to bring the best back with me

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

[Bridge]

And I follow the fadin’ light

'Til the stars are 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

[Chorus]

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 to bring the best back with me

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