Lyrics
Gone To Westward by Matthew J. Cloutier
Dream a little dream for me tonight
Cuz I'll be comin' home late
It's a quarter of four and I got about 1,000 miles to go
and I really should be on my way
And if things don't seem as real
I'll be on my way...
I'll be on my way
I got a battle of Jack and copy of Kerouak
I keep 'em down in my boots
And the wind shes whisperin' out my name
And the cars keep passin' me by
And if things don't seem as real
I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
I got lights bearing down headed eastbound
And a feelin' in my bones like rain
But theres a picture of her in my wallet
And its got me headin' west again
And if things don't seem as real
I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
