West
I want to travel more,
But I’ve always been scared to go west.
Toward the mountains and the bays.
Toward the cowboys and the strays.
I’m not so sure why,
I’ve always been this fearful guy.
I need to travel more,
But I’ve always been scared to go west.
Daydreams of monstrous redwood trees,
Or cosmos with the lovely sea salt breeze.
A rocky summit to bring me to my knees,
or just one sunset with the Grand Canyon please.
Man I can’t believe,
I’m scared to go west.
But if the caldera unzipped, and blocked out the sun,
Well then where would there be to run?
If a scorpion stung me from inside my shoe,
Just what am I supposed to do?
What if the rumors are true,
And an alien abducts me or you,
What do you propose we do?
How can I go so far,
When tomorrows shooting star,
May wave its red tail,
and leave a green trail,
Float right through the air,
With flame and despair,
And take away the west.
Now try and see, right with me,
Wouldn’t those...
