Storm clouds billow and I see 
Pregnant possibilities 'cross fields of grain 
I'm only 14, but I feel 
Purple mountains pulling me on towards the sea 

Mother's tears and Father's hands 
Hold me, turn me, keep me on that straight and true 
But my head turns every chance I get 
And my heart beats faster looking out into the West 

Highways bulge and ribbon 
Towards a hazy dream that haunts me so 
One foot front the other 
That West is tugging at my soul 

Here I am on the road again 
Waylon, Willie keepn' me close company 
The people in my rear-view mirror 
Fill me with a lonely thrill of ecstasy 

Utah's size and majesty 
Threaten to obliterate all space and time 
Rocky arches, picture frames 
Will I regret the friends that I have left behind? 

Highways bulge and ribbon 
Towards a hazy dream that haunts me so 
One foot front the other 
That West is tugging at my soul 

The desert leaves me empty 
And I know Nature's lacking a regard for me 
Humbled, hungry, wild and free; 
Horizon is a mirror, I long for the sea 

To wash me clean and give me hope 
That what I've done is only what I had to do 
That longing for adventure 
It's a quest and not abandonment that I choose 

Highways bulge and ribbon 
Towards a hazy dream that haunts me so 
One foot front the other 
That West is tugging at my soul 

Now it's there in front of me 
Pavement broke to sand and I am on my feet 
My heart and waves thud in time 
A vain hope for a fleeting sense of victory 

But the fever will not break 
Even though there is no road to follow now 
Perhaps it's a ship I'll sail 
And keep the West forever 'cross my pitching bow 

Highways bulge and ribbon 
Towards a hazy dream that haunts me so 
One foot front the other 
That West is tugging at my soul 

Pacific rolls and tumbles 
Towards a hazy dream that ends my road 
But will there be an end? 
Or will there be an endless need to go?
