lyrics

Packin’ up my bags headin’ west, headin’ west, on the road again,
Another hundred miles ‘till I’m home.
Roll my cigarette light it up, light it up, I’m on my own again,
Another night and day for me to roam.

And I know by now, that everything will pass,
And I’ll show you how, to make the moment last.
I don’t wanna know, what’s waiting ‘round the bend,
Guess I’ll have to wait until the end.

Drivin’ to the sea, headin’ west, headin’ west, and feeling cold again.
I never seem to catch that setting sun.
The wind is at my back, set me free, set me free, and I’ll be yours again.
Never have to be without someone.

And I know by now, that everything will pass,
I’ll show you how, to make the moment last.
I don’t wanna know, what’s waiting ‘round the bend,
Guess I’ll have to wait until the end.

Occupy my time, and my mind, I’m heading west ‘until I am whole again.
Anywhere but here and now will do.
Singing little songs, can you hear? Can you hear? I’m in control again.
Heading west ‘til I’m holding you.

And I know by now, that everything will pass,
I’ll show you how, to make the moment last.
I don’t wanna know, what’s waiting ‘round the bend,
Guess I’ll have to wait until the end.
