The West Lyrics by Olivia Ellen Lloyd

Loose Cannon

2021

[Verse 1]
Strung out again up in Michigan
But I don't think I'll stay here very long
And West Virginia feels like a long-lost friend
But I don't know if I can go back home
[Chorus]
I don't know much about the West
But I can smell that salt air on your chest
And the Pacific Coast's been in my dreams
Saying, "Darlin', won"t you come and sit by me"
[Verse 2]
Spent a summer sweating in the trees
Way down south in smoky Tennessee
And the boys, well, they were mighty nice to me
But I don't think they could give me what I need
[Chorus]
I don't know much about the West
Except for bronze skinned girls and Jack Kerouac
I think that big sky might help me to forget
About the weight hanging down around my nеck
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I even tried thе foggy skies of London
The cold wind and the rain, they got me down
Oh, all the people made me blue as hell
I didn't care too much to stick around
[Chorus]
Well I don't know much about the West
But if I reach the Rockies, maybe I could rest
Inside a new ol' life, whatever I need best
Oh, I know that I gotta give it a chance
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
