Testo I Tried Going West - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Testo della canzone I Tried Going West (Mary Chapin Carpenter), tratta dall'album Ashes And Roses
I tried going west
Where the sky meets the sun
Where the edge of the world's always been
As far from this place as a girl gets to run
When her reasons to stay have worn thin
Out there the days were so bright and so blue
Yet I missed all my thunder and rain
And the way a storm punctures a hot afternoon
Washing away every stain
When my maps pointed north
They were calling for snow
To cover all sound and all sight
Now tell me where on this earth does all that noise go
Underneath all of that white
With boss scarcely mentioned, I dug out my truck
By the time the storm cleared I was gone
Back on the road with the radio up
And singing at the top of my lungs, hey
Driving and crying and driving some more
Oh, the South is a good place to hide
Hot nights, cold beer, creaky screen doors
And a motel's vacancy sign
A letter a day I wrote back home to you
But not one you ever received
'Cause I can't stand a man who lies like you do
And I can't bear a woman who pleads
One day at dawn I had run out of road
And out of reasons to run
Like a horse to the barn, I was hell-bent to go
As fast going back as I'd come
"Home, home" was the song that I sang
As I pulled in just before dark
But there was only a hook where your coat used to hang
And that's where I hung up my heart
I tried going west
Where the sky meets the sun
