Well they say that the mountains touch the sky
Far away out west of the great divide
And there s fertile fields and valleys down below
And I m telling you brother we d be fools not to go
(chorus)
And I ve never been out west he said
It always seemed so far away
And it s just a direction I guess
, , , ,
And I m getting too old waiting around for someday||
Well the dreams they faded fast as the trucks rolled by
And it seemed we shared a longing deep inside
And I said you ve got nothing to lose girl and we ve got room for one more
She put her hand in mine and we left without locking the door
(chorus)
I ve never been out west she said
It always seemed so far away
And it s just a direction I guess
And I m getting too old waiting around for some day
Well the rain is relentless in Seattle
And when it came it was more than I could handle
And did I watch her fall or did she watch me let her go
I ve got no one and nothing left to lose here anymore
And I d never been out west she read
It always seemed so far away
And it s just a direction I guess
And I m getting too old waiting around for some day
