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 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

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

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

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

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

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
