Lyrics

Somewhere beneath all the stars
I've been counting on
Seeing you somehow again
Like Tumble weed rolling
From place to place
Hoping that
Fate's gonna' find a way in
But these walk away boots
I've been wearing don't fit anymore
But I'd do anything
Just to leave them outside of your door

Chorus:
Now I'd empty the rivers
Round up the night
Lasso the past
And tomorrow we'd ride
I'd saddle the wind
Just to blow through your hair
But you're somewhere east of long gone
And I'm west of nowhere

We left Ohio
And chased the horizon
Like two desperados I guess
That red El Camino
The look in your eyes
And nothing but time up ahead
But when it broke down
We left everything there by the road
I guess we found out
We had two different place to go

Chorus:
Now I'd empty the rivers
Round up the night
Lasso the past
And tomorrow we'd ride
I'd saddle the wind
Just to blow through your hair
But you're somewhere east of long gone
And I'm west of nowhere

Bridge:
Out in the distance
Those head lights are you and me
Climbing that hill
Till we just disappear
Where did you go to
That's where I wanna' be
And if I could get there from here

Chorus:
Now I'd empty the rivers
Round up the night
Lasso the past
And tomorrow we'd ride
I'd saddle the wind
Just to blow through your hair
But you're somewhere east of long gone
And I'm west of nowhere
