I tried going west where the sky meets the sun Where the edge of the world's always been As far from this place as a girl gets to run When her reasons to stay have worn thin Out there the days were so bright and so blue Yet I missed all my thunder and rain The way a storm punctures a hot afternoon Washing away every stain When my maps pointed north they were calling for snow To cover all sound and all sight Tell me where on this earth does all that noise go Underneath all of that white With thaws scarcely mentioned I dug out my truck By the time the storm cleared I was gone Back on the road with the radio up Singing at the top of my lungs Driving and crying and driving some more Oh the south is a good place to hide Hot nights, cold beer and creaky screen doors And a motel's vacancy sign A letter a day I wrote back home to you Letras de cancionesBut not one you ever received Because I can't stand a man who lies like you do And I can't bear a woman who pleads One day it dawned I had run out of road And out of reasons to run Like a horse to the barn I was hell bent to go As fast going back as I'd come Home, home was the song that I sang As I pulled in just before dark There was only a hook where your coat used to hang That's where I hung up my heart I tried going west, where the sky meets the sun From Letras Mania
