[Intro]
E D A E


[Verse 1]

You fell in love with America 
              D
when you were 12 years old
       A
And by 17 you knew you had to 
       E
see it all

You loved your dad and the love 
                D
he had for your mother so
           A
You had to get out and go 
                   E     
chasin' it's sweet call

D A E


[Verse 2]

I met you there in Texas 
                 D
somewhere on the thoroughfare
       A                Am
On the side of the road.  

in some torn up clothes
A      E
with a pistol in my pocket

I didn’t trust no one 

but you said "Baby, don’t run, 
              D
I’ll take you anywhere"
     A
So I hopped right in, outta luck to spend, 
       E
and at least your truck beats walking

[Chorus]
And you said "Hey, 
                               D
do you wanna see the west with me?
      A
Cause lovе's out there 
                     E
and I can’t leavе it be"

And I said "Honey, 
                           D
love's never meant much to me
         A
But I'll come with you 
                             E
if you're sure it's what you need"


[Verse 3]

So we made off for California 
             D
to find your lover, 
                  E
driving day and night

And every small town diner 

saw our faces at least once or twice

But in these motel rooms, 
                     D
I started to see you differently
              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, 

no one left to love
             A
But now that I met you, I finally know 
                   E 
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]
And you said "Hey, 
                               D
do you wanna see the west with me?
(Do you wanna see the west with me?)
      A
Cause love's out there 
                      D
and I can’t leave it be"
(I can’t leave it, I can’t leave it)

And I said "Honey, 
                                D
love's never meant that much to me
(Nothing much)
         A
But I'll come with you if you're 
                   E
sure it's what you need"

[Bridge]

Once we reached the coast you said 
                             D
"End of the line, we finally hit the edge, 

after all this time
         A 
I didn't find my love but I still 
                     E
made it this far without it"

But then you turned to me 

and stared into me deep and said 
     D
"But maybe not, cause look at what I've got
              A
You might not be my love, but, baby, 
D            E
I doubt it"

[Chorus]
    N.C       E
And you said "Hey, 
                               D
do you wanna see the west with me?
      A
Cause love's out there 
                     E
and I can’t leave it be"

And I said "Honey, 
                           D
love's never meant much to me
         A
But I'll come with you 
                              E
if you're sure it's what you need"

D A E D

[Outro]
              A
Cause in your pickup truck 

with all of your dumb luck 

is the only place I think 
          E
I’d ever wanna be

D A E D E
