《I Tried Going West》歌词

时长： 04:16

Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Tried Going West[00:00:01]

I tried going west where the sky meets the sun[00:00:12]

Where the edge of the world's always been[00:00:18]

As far from this place as a girl gets to run[00:00:23]

When her reasons to stay have worn thin[00:00:28]

Out there the days were so bright and so blue[00:00:33]

Yet I missed all my thunder and rain[00:00:37]

The way a storm punctures a hot afternoon[00:00:42]

Washing away every stain[00:00:48]

When my maps pointed north they were calling for snow[00:01:03]

To cover all sound and all sight[00:01:09]

Tell me where on this earth does all that noise go[00:01:13]

Underneath all of that white[00:01:20]

With thaws scarcely mentioned I dug out my truck[00:01:24]

By the time the storm cleared I was gone[00:01:29]

Back on the road with the radio up[00:01:33]

Singing at the top of my lungs[00:01:40]

Driving and crying and driving some more[00:02:06]

Oh the south is a good place to hide[00:02:11]

Hot nights cold beer and creaky screen doors[00:02:16]

And a motel's vacancy sign[00:02:21]

A letter a day I wrote back home to you[00:02:26]

But not one you ever received[00:02:31]

Because I can't stand a man who lies like you do[00:02:35]

And I can't bear a woman who pleads[00:02:41]

One day it dawned I had run out of road[00:03:06]

And out of reasons to run[00:03:13]

Like a horse to the barn I was hell bent to go[00:03:16]

As fast going back as I'd come[00:03:22]

Home home was the song that I sang[00:03:27]

As I pulled in just before dark[00:03:33]

There was only a hook where your coat used to hang[00:03:36]

That's where I hung up my heart[00:03:42]

I tried going west where the sky meets the sun[00:03:57]
