《I Tried Going West》歌词

[00:00:01] Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Tried Going West

[00:00:12] I tried going west where the sky meets the sun

[00:00:18] Where the edge of the world's always been

[00:00:23] As far from this place as a girl gets to run

[00:00:28] When her reasons to stay have worn thin

[00:00:33] Out there the days were so bright and so blue

[00:00:37] Yet I missed all my thunder and rain

[00:00:42] The way a storm punctures a hot afternoon

[00:00:48] Washing away every stain

[00:01:03] When my maps pointed north they were calling for snow

[00:01:09] To cover all sound and all sight

[00:01:13] Tell me where on this earth does all that noise go

[00:01:20] Underneath all of that white

[00:01:24] With thaws scarcely mentioned I dug out my truck

[00:01:29] By the time the storm cleared I was gone

[00:01:33] Back on the road with the radio up

[00:01:40] Singing at the top of my lungs

[00:02:06] Driving and crying and driving some more

[00:02:11] Oh the south is a good place to hide

[00:02:16] Hot nights cold beer and creaky screen doors

[00:02:21] And a motel's vacancy sign

[00:02:26] A letter a day I wrote back home to you

[00:02:31] But not one you ever received

[00:02:35] Because I can't stand a man who lies like you do

[00:02:41] And I can't bear a woman who pleads

[00:03:06] One day it dawned I had run out of road

[00:03:13] And out of reasons to run

[00:03:16] Like a horse to the barn I was hell bent to go

[00:03:22] As fast going back as I'd come

[00:03:27] Home home was the song that I sang

[00:03:33] As I pulled in just before dark

[00:03:36] There was only a hook where your coat used to hang

[00:03:42] That's where I hung up my heart

[00:03:57] I tried going west where the sky meets the sun
