Head west, turn right and you'll find me
Near a town with 'Please drive slowly' at each end
I have walked away from ties that bind me
It's way off the map, but I'm still going 'round the bend
A rusty track, it runs right through this town
You can't get here by train from anywhere no more
But when I trek along that track come sundown
I swear I can still hear the locomotives roar
The stars out here for you must be the same
The more I stare at them, the less I see
When I search that firmament for something to blame
Those eyes in the night, they're looking back at me
Head west, turn right and you'll find me
Where the sign says 'Prone to flood - live at your own risk'
I'd love to see you, as long as you don't remind me
You don't like mud and you bring a plowing disk
The stars out here for you must be the same
The more I stare at them, the less I see
When I search that firmament for something to blame
Those eyes in the night, they're looking back at me
Head west, turn right, turn right
Just trust my footsteps, there is no other way
Head west, turn right, turn right, when you see my light
When you get here I know you're going to stay
I know, I know you're going to stay
