Left my hopes on the Pacific shoreline
The gold has faded into dust and grey
Packed my life into a rusted flatbed
And turned the wheel towards the eastern way
The state line is calling
The heavy clouds are parting
I'm trading the ocean breeze for the open plains
Heading out towards Texas where the sky runs forever
Underneath a ceiling of stars so bright and deep
Leaving all those faded
golden dreams behind us
Looking for a promise that we can finally keep
Desert highway
stretching out before me
Red dirt rising in the rearview mirror light
No more chasing
shadows on the coastland
Just a steady road ahead into the night
Heading out towards Texas where the sky runs forever
Underneath a ceiling of stars so bright and deep Leaving all those
faded
golden dreams behind us
Looking for a promise that we can finally keep
Heading towards Texas
We're finally heading home
