Francis Larson - West

Lord knows I’ve been roaming
I’m always walking out that door
Hell knows what I’ve been searching for, it ain't
It ain’t money, or whiskey
That shit just doesn’t treat me right
I’ve seen it wreck too many lives
All these drunks say boy, if you’re leaving
You must be running from something
Old friend, no it ain’t like that
I swear I travel towards the right path
Or I’m on my way to find it
Oh, I’ll send a postcard when these feet quit moving
Until then I can promise nothing
I’ve no address where I am heading
Unsure if I will be
Coming back
A restless heart driving west
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed
Desert heat on the back of my neck
Sweating working for something I can’t define yet
I keep driving
West
I ain’t like my friends from high school
I didn’t find the one so easily, didn’t marry young, I ain't
I ain’t had a sweetheart since 19
I didn’t build a life ditching dreams to feed kids and a wife
And I ain’t no jukebox hero
No Tommy or Eddie
those names you’ve heard in classic songs
Don’t want to be famous, just want funds to tramp on
I’m but a poor, broken man
All I got are these words
They ain’t brilliant but they're mine
They stay with me when I cross state lines
Unlike people who give up on me in time
Cause they know I ain’t
Coming back
A restless heart driving west
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed
Running high on credit card debt
and a face I can’t forget
I keep driving
West
Coming back
A restless heart driving west
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed
Growing older still looking for answers I doubt I’ll ever get
Still I keep coming back
Driving west
Don’t know if I’m hell or heaven blessed
Alone on the road with these chords that I wrote
Ain’t nothing I regret
I keep driving
Driving
(Ooo)
Driving
(Driving)
West
(Ooo)
West
(Driving)
West
West...
