lyrics

If you're headed West, send me a postcard from Nebraska
Lord, I never thought I'd miss those endless plains
but here I am, scroungin' city blocks for green grass
I guess you never know what's wild till you try to make it tame

I know being here, it's all for the best
but check in on my heart
if you're headed West

If you're headed West, would you give my love to Andrew
That boy can always use a little bit
he's been waitin' on a woman, out there in the desert
and he's tired, but he's too damn stubborn to quit

I know being here, it's all for the best
but check in on my heart
if you're headed West

There ain't no freedom in these streets
it's like it was born here then it left
liberty lives in those open amber fields
where my roots were planted and I took it for granted

So, if you're headed west, would you do me one last favor
roll your windows down, let that prairie help you breathe
and while I'm livin' here, at the mercy of the concrete
won't you take care of those pieces of me

I know being here, it's all for the best
but won't you check in on my heart
check in on my heart
I'm sure I left it somewhere out West
