Lyrics
SOUTHWEST OF GOODBYE laurie horn
I've let many dreams pass me by on the run
Lookin' for lovin' under the sun
I was out on the road most times all alone
Not wanting much more than to be coming home.
Chorus
I don't like where I'm going Here I go again
Two miles southwest of what might have been
Keep tryin' to get there But the road always ends
Two miles southwest of what might have been
Two miles southwest of what might have been
I picture you there with a smile on your face
Not knowing by now someone's taken my place
You tell me it's over
Well I can't let it lie
Look for me later southwest of goodbye
Chorus
If only I'd brought you
Along for this ride
Maybe you'd be right by my side
Chorus
