lyrics

west is the west
and that's where you're going
and i'm in the middle trying to figure out what i'm doing
as i walked up along the creek today
a memory came back of you
standing in the rain

what boy doesn't wish he'd get a song for him
all his, all his that some pretty girl would sing
well it's not like i was falling down in love
but playboys and playgirls can still have some fun

i get wrapped up in a whirlwind
i get caught up in a head trip
i get over my face in some stupid shit
while you're probably driving through wyoming
