Somewhere West Of Laramie

He’s been out here for a month now, following some elusive call
Put half his life behind him, then one day he just up and hit the wall
It might be an illusion, but he’s got to go and see
If there’s not a place for him, somewhere west of Laramie

Somewhere west of Laramie
I hope to find the rest of me
And it might be the best of me
Somewhere west of Laramie

His friends all call him crazy; they think he’s lost his mind
He’s trading what’s up ahead, for everything he’s left behind
He’s got no destination, it changes with the breeze
And the dust upon the dashboard, somewhere west of Laramie

Somewhere west of Laramie
I hope to find the rest of me
And it might be the best of me
Somewhere west of Laramie

There’s nothing on the radio, he’s writing his own song
Building to the chorus, with everything that comes along
He’s got no preconceptions; he’s just satisfied to see
The windshield’s bigger than the mirror, out here west of Laramie

Somewhere west of Laramie
I hope to find the rest of me
And it might be the best of me
Somewhere west of Laramie
