Kate Jayne: Music
West
(Kate Jayne)
these kinds of things are never easy
that extends from love to life
the truth would slit your throat gladly
but I don't have enough heart left to want to lie
a new hometown might suit me better
a new approach could serve me well
I want a chance to start things over
play by the book on someone else's shelf
tomorrow I will wake up happy
knowing it's the day I leave
I have my shotgun locked and loaded
I'll point it west to guide me to glory
now you may think that you can stop me
but I have never been so resolute
I sketched my starting line in the driveway
I don't want the one mistake that I never make to be leaving you
when all is written and remembered
I want it noted I made it out the door once
with high hopes and gathered courage
wild horses in my heart itching to run
but when I find that every good man is spoken for
and every good song has been written before
I'll hightail back across the mountains
I may not be worth it but I am yours
