El Paso

Westbound moving down the big stripe
 Headed for that California coastline
 Reeling in the silence, keeping between the lines
 Trying to make El Paso by tonight
 Gave away all I couldn't take with me
 The only way I could ever truly set me free
 So don't call my name in that soft and tender way
 Don't give your heart to me now that I've escaped
 If I come back at all it's not for you to say
 Out here in the desert, underneath the stars
 Everything I own and me, sleeping in my car
 No one around me now to tell me where to start
 Another dreamer in the dark
 Goodbye all I thought I knew so well
 Turns out no one even noticed my farewell
 So don't call my name in that soft and tender way
 Don't give your heart to me now that I've escaped
 If I come back at all it's not for you anyway
 Westbound moving down the big stripe
 Trying to make El Paso by tonight
