Her West Was Wilder
(专辑: Hillbilly Deluxe - 2005)
There's a
picture of us in a
bar, out in California, Eating fish Tacos an' drinking cold, cold beer. An' man we had the
time of our lives... Yes, that was a
very good year. Drove all the
way up the
coast of California, All the
way the
101. One time we cruised all the
way to Vancouver, Just to watch the
setting sun, yeah, Just to watch the
setting sun. Every time I
looked in those far away eyes, I
could see me getting left behind. I
gave her my best, But her west was wilder than mine. Got lost in the
desert an' found an Indian casino, An' she started rolling those nines. Stacking up the
chips halfway to Heaven, Without even trying. We watched it all go at the
roulette wheel. She let it all ride on the
black. She said: "You can't keep what you never had. "Can't keep what you never had." Laugh like the
devil, howl at the
moon... I
knew I
was losing my mind. I
gave her my best, But her west was wilder than mine. [Instrumental break] An' I
was gassing up in a
dust storm outside of Sedona... She was chasing a
tumbleweed. She flagged down a
Kenwood, jumped in the
cab. It was the
last of her I'd ever see. It was the
last of her I'd ever see. An' where the
wild wind blows an' anything goes, As long as it's over the
line. I
gave her my best, But her west was wilder than mine. It was wilder than mine. There's a
picture of us sin a
bar, out in California, Eating fish Tacos an' drinking cold, cold beer.
