Looking West

Yes we’re headed home, I sure like looking west
Oh, I will not sleep tonight, how could I rest before I get there
Before I get home, to my kingdom in the west

Where the sunset’s never ending and the people are my people
Yes, I’ve to go home, it’s the land that’s got no lightning
Everything’s imagined, nothing is for real, and nothing is for real

I got probably ’bout a month and half to go,
Ride a round the country with a bag full of dirty clothes
Missing my friends I had to leave back home
And my baby is broke in Mexico

Yes, I’m headed home
I sure like looking west
Looking west, I’m looking west
I’m looking west, looking west

Drove through the desert, over the mountains
Drove through the valley, into the ocean
Drove through the desert, to California
All the way from Baja to the forests of Arcata

Yes I’m headed home, I sure like looking west
I will not sleep tonight, how could I rest before I get there
Before I get home

Gonna give it all a shot, gonna do what I need to
Gonna face the future, in the land of the mongrels
I’m gonna drive out my demons, I’m gonna shake up all my rattles
Gonna rattle all my shakers, thank my lucky stars

I’m looking west (8x)

(Solo)

I’m looking west, looking west (2x)

    I’m working on moving this site to a faster web server this week & also making some upgrades on the site, I borked something up along the way & I’m going to fix that. Thanks for pointing this out. I think it is a Character Encoding problem. Anyway. The newest feature I just added to this site is the ability to Post Your Comment without logging in. So it’s easier to comment now. So everybody pick your favorite song and tell the world why u <3 it!
