Mary McCaslin - Way Out West lyrics

Artist: Mary McCaslin

album: The Best Of Mary McCaslin: Things We Said Today


My family left home when I was a child
To head out West, all open and wild
I couldn't wait to ride the prairie on a pony
But we passed over the plains and on down
Into the great suburban stucco forest
The people there all held my dreams in jest
Somehow I grew to spite them
Way out West
My first love came West to play and to sing
But he soon left the hearts-and-flowers scene
He started to hang around the ranch
And then he went with the Wild West Show
He became one of the bunch
He gave them all, all his very best
He's riding high somewhere
Way out West
Then I fell in with a rounder who's always on the move
But he wanted to make, instead of give, love
He wouldn't hear of love as a gift, instead
He used his cruelties, and his remedies
To come down heavy on my head
He'll only stay where he can be a guest
He lives one day at a time
Way out West
My family left home when I was a child
To head out West, all open and wild
I still can't wait to ride the prairie on a pony
I'm gonna head back out to the rolling plains
And leave behind the great stucco forest
I'll be using all these stormy nights for rest
For my daybreak journey
Way out West
Way out West
Way out West
