Western Gold Lyrics

Tears falling on the pillow
Thoughts spin around her head
She's reaching out her fingers
As I get up out of bed
Babe, don't waste your time dreaming
'Cause I'll be gone before the morn'
This road that I'm chasing
I've been on since I was born

I'll see you in California under the western gold
You know I hate leaving but I need the open road
You had no way of knowing that I was born to run
So before we say goodbye
Darling, turn down the lights
And hold me tonight

Raindrops on a windshield
As I pull of of the drive
Got a show tonight in Kansas City
Driving through that Colorado sky
And my mind begins a-wanderin'
In a way I'll never know
Could I be searching for something
Something I had all along?

I'll see you in California under the western gold
You know I hate leaving but I need the open road
You had no way of knowing that I was born to run
So before we say goodbye
Darling, turn down them lights
And hold me

I'll see you in California under the western gold
You know I hate leaving but I need the open road
You had no way of knowing that I was born to run
So before we say goodbye
Darling, close your eyes
And love me tonight
