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
