WEST

WEST

Tomorrow you're leaving, you're going out West
I just want to say that I wish you the best........

You always said that's what I was,
When we were man and wife,
"Your best and precious angel",
Before you changed your whole life.

When that airplane turns, to leave the runway
I'll recall the ticket you bought.... "one way"......

That white circle on your finger,
Where my ring used to be,
Tells the whole, sad story,
About us...you and me.

The West may offer you great wealth untold
But the east warmed you when you were cold .......

As you fly away tomorrow,
And leave 'us' far behind,
You'll forget me by sundown,
As a new love you will find.

Tomorrow you're leaving, you're going out West
In your new blue jeans and black, suede vest....

I'll use your pillow tonight,
To catch & hold my tears,
As you throw the love aside,
I gave to you through two years.

When those four strong winds start blowin'
And you don't know if you're comin' or goin'.....

And when you go shopping,
As it near's Christmas Day,
Don't get drunk like last year,
Forgetting His birthday.

Tomorrow you're leaving, you're going out West
To hell with us and all of the rest.....

As I wave to your airplane,
I'm wearing a tent-dress,
To hide our baby.....
Good-bye and God bless.
