You feel in love with America and you were twelve years old
And by seventeen you knew you had to see it all
You loved your dad and the love he had for your mother so
You had to get out there and go chasing that sweet cold
Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah, ah
I met you there in Texas, summer, on the Thoroughfare fair
On the side of the road, in some torn up clothes with a pistol in my pocket
I didn't trust no one but you said "Baby, don't run, I'll take you anywhere"
So I hoped right in, out of luck to spin and at least your truck beats walking
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the West with me?
'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be"
And I said "Honey, love's never meant much to me, oh, oh
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"
So made off of California to find your lover driving there
At night in every small town diner, saw our face at least once or twice
But in these motels rooms I started to see you differently, oh, oh
'Cause for the first time since I was a child, I could see a man who wasn't angry
And he said "It's been a long damn time since I left Florida, no one left to leave, and no one left to leave
And now that I met you I finally know just where I'm heading"
And we found heaven in tide where the Western sunshine met my deep severed way
And you got lost in it, and yet you found yourself heart passed for well and sweating
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the West with me? (Do you wanna see the West with me?)
'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be" (I can't leave it, I can't leave it)
And I said "Honey, love's never meant much to me (Much)
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need" (What you need)
Hm, yeah
Oh, oh, ih
Hm, yeah
And once we reached the Coast you said "End of the line
We finally reached the edge after all these time
I didn't find my love but I still made it this far without it"
And then you turned to me and stared into me deep and said
"Maybe not, 'cause look at what I got
It might not be my love but, baby, I doubt it"
And you said "Hey, do you wanna see the West with me? (Do you wanna see the West with me?)
'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be" (I can't leave it, I can't leave it)
And I said "Honey, love's never meant much to me (Much)
But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need"
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh, oh, oh
'Cause in your pickup truck we saw with our darn luck
It's the only place I think I'd ever wanna be
