♫ Intro: E D A E ♫ Verse 1: D You fell in love with America when you were twelve years old A E And by seventeen, you knew you had to see it all D You loved your dad and the love he had for your mother, so A E You had to get out and go chasin' its sweet call ♫ Instrumental: D A E ♫ Verse 2: D I met you there in Texas somewhere on the thoroughfare A Am E On the side of the road in some torn-up clothes with a pistol in my pocket D I didn't trust no one, but you said, "Baby, don't run, I'll take you anywhere" A E So I hopped right in, outta luck to spend, and at least your truck beats walking
♫ Chorus: D And you said, "Hey, do you wanna see thе west with me? A E 'Cause lovе's out there and I can't leave it be" D And I said, "Honey, love's never meant much to me A E But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need" ♫ Verse 3: So we made off for California D To find your lover, drivin' day and night A And every small town diner E Saw our faces at least once or twice But in these motel rooms D I started to see you differently, oh A E 'Cause for the first time since I was a child I could see a man who wasn't angry ♫ Verse 4: And he said, "It's been a long damn time since I left Florida D No one left to leave and no one left to love A E But now that I met you, I finally know just where I'm headin'" And we found heaven in time where your western sunshine D Met my deep southern wet A And you got lost in it and yet you found yourself E Hard-pressed for air and sweatin' ♫ Chorus: D And you said, "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me? (Do you wanna see the west with me ) A E 'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be" (I can't leave it, I can't leave it) D And I said, "Honey, love's never meant that much to me (Nothing much) A E But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need" ♫ Instrumental: D E D A E ♫ Bridge: And once we reached the coast, you said, "End of the line D We finally reached the edge after all this time A E I didn't find my love, but I still made it this far without it" And then you turned to me and stared into me deep D And said, "Well, maybe not 'cause look at what I've got A E N.C. You might not be my love, but, baby, I doubt it" ♫ Chorus: E D And you said, "Hey, do you wanna see the west with me? A E 'Cause love's out there and I can't leave it be" (I can't leave it, I can't leave it) D And I said, "Honey, love's never meant that much to me A E But I'll come with you if you're sure it's what you need" ♫ Instrumental: D A E D ♫ Outro: A E D 'Cause in your pickup truck with all of your dumb luck is the only place I think I'd ever wanna be
