Western Answers

The rumble of the train

As it crosses through my town

Calls to me to follow it west

West is the answers

West is the goal

West is the life you’ve longed for

What is left to hold me here

But old photographs and empty promises

The lies of a generation repeated over again

Escape lies beyond the borders of this town

Beyond the comfort and the warmth

The answers lie in the great open spaces

The answers to questions unasked

Screaming into the night

From a heart that will never be whole

West is the answers

West is the goal

West is the life you’ve longed for
