I Love Driving West

(albüm: Red Sky - 2000)

I love driving west
Like rock and roll
The kick drum is my heartbeat
And the back beat is the snare that traps my soul
Driving west
And as the sun rolls overhead
The white line on the road
Is turning golden
As the sky burns red

I love riding west
An endless glide
The sun is like an eager groom racing to make
The silver moon his bride
Riding west
As the shadows fall behind
Darkness growing fast
It's the future not the past
That fills my mind
That fills my mind

I love flying west
An endless flight
High above the castled clouds and
Several sunset hours before night
Flying west
The earth below begins to sleep
I am heading on my way
There's more left of the day
For me to keep
For me to keep

I love driving west
A setting sun
The like of which the timeless world has seen
Before I know but not this one
Driving west
This must be the best
This is my favorite road
My evening
Golden eyed screwed up but beaming
Lined with laughter, tears a-streaming
Beyond the moon the stars are wheeling
Is that heaven or the ceiling?

I love driving West
