If that Best Western still life is the last thing I see
At least I’ll never see it again
Cause it’s hardly worth looking at the same tired scene
In every hotel room you’ve been
Gonna open the window let in some highway
And smoke this old stuff in my shoe
Stare at the night sky and dream about somewhere
Where there’s something better to do
Leaving comes easy when all that you know
Is the farthest away you can find
With midnight air breathing down the back of your neck
and homesweet nowhere in mind
Cant quite call it freedom, considering the cost
When ya check out and turn in the key
But I call it a living and just take the loss
Cause lost is where I’ll always be
Sometimes the highway, she’ll treat you like dirt
Leave you spun out, crying in the rain
Sometimes you’ll love her just like an old friend
When no one for miles knows your name
Leaving comes easy when all that you know
Is the farthest away you can find
Wipe away tears of the grey western skies
It’s homesweet nowhere tonight
Those parking lot lights the only stars in the sky
Smoke winds its way to the moon
Outside my window there’s cars rolling by
Some have gotta be headed home soon
It’s dead end decision which road to take
When they all lead you somewhere the same
Some room in some motel, right next to some highway,
Same picture in an old plastic frame.
Leaving comes easy when all that you know
Is the farthest away you can find
Alone on the trail of some pale yellow lights
Headed homesweet nowhere tonight

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
