Heading West Song Lyrics
Heading West by Ralph Mctell Watching the clouds go by as you pull up in your car,
It's so amazing how we managed to get this far.
This run down boy was so out of touch he almost missed his moment
A thousand miles, my busted car, it's time to head west from here.
Let's run, cuz I can't stay,
And I couldn't bare to leave without you.
We're wasting time and I'm outside,
So go pack your bags let's leave tonight behind us
Let's ignore time and exit signs.
We'll drive off in this dusky summer sky.
Let's ignore rhyme and reason why.
Don't look back, we can never look back.
It's Tuesday morning,
She's been out since New Orleans.
We're running low on cash as the dial starts to turn to E.
I can't believe you came with me,
This could have been a nightmare.
Each time I wake, the more I see,
That you're the better part of me.
Let's run, you hate this place.
Don't you want somewhere that you can call your own?
We've lost touch with who we were,
And it's time that we set out to find ourselves.
Let's ignore time and exit signs.
We'll drive off in this dusky summer sky.
Let's ignore rhyme and reason why.
Don't look back, we can never look back.
It's nearly morning, the sun is blinding,
Your car is filled with our lives stashed in cardboard boxes.
We have to leave love, this won't be easy.
Remember that I'll always look out for you.
Let's ignore time and exit signs.
We'll drive off in this dusky summer sky.
Let's ignore rhyme and reason why.
Don't look back, we can never look back.
