Westbound

Intro

Mmm…

Late flight… no sleep…

Verse 1

Backstage smell like liquor and wires,

Everybody talk big when the check get higher,

I just left the city in a rented black truck,

Headlights cut through the dust like luck.

Phone full of people I don’t call back,

Old friends swear I changed with the tax bracket,

Maybe they right, maybe time do that,

Maybe everybody lose somethin’ chasing impact.

I miss when music just lived in the basement,

Before every sentence became a statement,

Now every dinner got ten photographers,

Even good nights feel performative.

Hook

Drive slow…

Night movin’ past the window…

No destination, just westbound…

Tryna hear my thoughts over the background.

Mmm…

Streetlights blur when the rain fall…

I don’t say much when the weight on me…

I just keep drivin’.

Verse 2

Hotel balcony somewhere cold outside,

Room service plates and a bruised-up pride,

Everybody want the version that was hungry,

But hunger and peace don’t sit comfortably.

Truth is—

Success make the room get thinner,

Harder tellin’ who really there at dinner,

Harder hear yourself through the noise too,

Especially when the whole world got a voice too.

Still make songs for the kids on the bus rides,

Headphones on while the small town rush by,

Dreamin’ bigger than the buildings around ‘em,

Tryna find somethin’ honest to surround ‘em.

Bridge

Mmm…

Some nights don’t need words…

Just the road and the hum…

Outro

Westbound…

Sun comin’ up in a few more miles…

Mmm…

Maybe

Chorus

Wait for the light to hit the pavement

Lookin for a reason for the payment

Tryna keep my head on a pivot now

Hopin' that I finally find a way out

Higher than the clouds on the coast line

Waitin' for a sign in the gold time

Daylight fadin' but I'm stayin' here

Findin' everything that I held dear

Bridge 2

Yeah

Floating past the satellite

Everything is alright

High above the canyon

Loneliness a companion

Moving through the gravity

Found my own reality

Drop

(Huummm-mmm-mmm)

(Way out)

(Find a way out)

(Huummm-mmm-mmm)

Outro

Just cruising...

No pressure no problems

Just me and the stars

Yeah...

Almost there now

Westbound...

(Soul vocal sample fading out)

Ooooh... ooooh...

Goodnight world
