Lyrics
Westbound
INTRO:
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
VERSE 1:
Well I sit here and wonder why,
I woke up today with the sun in my eyes.
Let's take a trip, maybe somewhere nice.
Route six-sixty-six, let's do it twice.
Hey!
Hey!
VERSE 2:
Well everyone back home doesn't know,
What it takes to put a show on the road.
Let's take it easy baby, nice and slow.
We'll all turn our engines when I say, go!
CHORUS:
Well come with me, you will see,
A world, and its company.
Stop right now and look around,
You might never be, back in this town.
It's a circle of life, love and light.
A magical gift, a sacrifice.
Well let's take one last look around,
We'll get back on the road,
Good o'l Westbound.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
VERSE 3:
The arch in the Lou is standing tall.
The redbirds of summer are playing ball.
FTK on the radio,
As we galloped our way into New Mexico.
CHORUS:
Well come with me, you will see,
A world, and its company.
Stop right now and look around,
You might never be, back in this town.
It's a circle of life, love and light.
A magical gift, a sacrifice.
Well let's take one last look around,
We'll get back on the road,
Good Ol' Westbound.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
VERSE 4:
If you make it through tornado alley,
You'll be just in time for the fires in Cali.
Route six-sixty-six has a toll to pay,
Chi-town and down all the way to L.A.
CHORUS:
Well come with me, you will see,
A world, and its company.
Stop right now and look around,
You might never be, back in this town.
It's a circle of life, love and light.
A magical gift, a sacrifice.
Well let's take one last look around,
We'll get back on the road,
Good Ol' Westbound.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
