A song about someone seeking solitude and giving up their life in the fast lane

lyrics

Heading west on a forty-carriage train.
Going to a place where it never seems to rain.
The Desert dry
Those Monotone skies
Sleep under stars with my thoughts to keep me sane.

Heading west in a rusty boxcar at sundown.
Leaving it all for a dusty one-horse town.
No more dreams
No more pain
No more pretending I’m the rodeo clown.

Mid 8
Got no bags to weigh me down
Only life keeping me around

Heading west to save my soul.
Must go now before I get old
These worn out bones
These old tired eyes
Too many friends and too many goodbyes

Heading west on a one….-way train
Never going back to the stress and the strain.
Feeling free
Breath in deep
This is the life that I’m gonna keep

Oh, Oh oh, ……….
