Heading West

I drop my hat To a restless wind, Oh
This time I'm not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
You're looking through me
like I never was real
You say you love me but you
won't let me feel
So I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some
place where I can heal
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west, oh
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
I said my name
Under my breath
He turned down a twisted road
I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and
let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and
it's nothing you said
The altitude of freedom
seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees
I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again
And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west, oh
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west
