Looking West

Yes we're heading home and I sure like looking west
I will not sleep tonight, no how could I rest
Before I get there, before I get home

Into the kingdom in the west
Where the sunset's never ending
Where the people are my people
If I got people at all
It's land that's got no lightning
Where everything's imagined
Where nothing is for real
Where nothing is for real

I got tired about a month and a half ago
Riding round the country with a bag full of dirty clothes
Missing all my friends that I had to leave back home
And my baby near the Gulf of Mexico
Yes we're headed home and I sure like looking west
Looking west looking west

Go cross the desert and over the mountains
Roll through the valley and into the ocean
Go cross the desert to California
All the way from Baja to the forests of Arcata

Yes we're headed home, I sure like looking west
I will not sleep tonight, no how could I rest
Before I get there, before I get home

I'm gonna give it an honest shot
I'm gonna do what I need to
I gotta face the future
In the land of tomorrow
And drive out all my demons
And rattle all my shakers
And shake up all my rattles
And thank my lucky stars
I'm looking west
Looking west
