Well I can't run much more
That smile I used to adore
Tried loving her best
Now I've got to get a little further west

Since I've been gone
I've done less right than wrong
No worse than most of the rest
Now I've got to get a little further west

My friends don't need me anyway
They get along just fine they say
I may be worse than the rest
Now I've got to get a little further west

Out west is the only blue sky I've seen
This big ol river wash me away clean
Empty thoughts is all I have left
Now I've got to get a little further west
