Well I ran away when I was 21
I took the Westbound train in the setting sun
A few dollars in my pocket, a heart full of love
I took the Westbound train in the setting sun
Stormed out the door abruptly without a goodbye
I'm feeling that Rocky Mountain high
A few dollars in my pocket, a heart full of love
I took the Westbound train in the setting sun
Rolling through the plains of Iowa
I took a minute to realize what I'd done
I left you broken-hearted, running from the law
And running from my daddy's ol' shotgun
I'm not proud of the man I once was
A liar, cheater, stealer as a day job
I fell to the bottle and thought about the gun
I needed beauty to escape the damage I'd done
Stormed out the door abruptly without a goodbye
I'm feeling that Rocky Mountain high
A few dollars in my pocket, a heart full of love
I took the Westbound train in the setting sun
