lyrics

Drive all night to the bitter road, where I end up I don’t know
Far away from my home, I have turned into a ghost
Flying through the air, mystical in mist despair
Eyes closed tight with a burning speed, trying to find the land for me
A new direction, new decree, a new vocation, new heartbeat
Flying in my place, out of conscience, out of space

Is this where I’m bound to stay?
Is this where I’m bound to lay?
Ranger lone, range alone, carve my messages in stone
S.O.S. I detest, I am strung for the new west

The new west

Drive all night to the bitter end, no more family, no more friends
Got a new life to begin, I’m not meeting at the ends
Soaring through the dust, mustered up “I must combust”
Hands closed up into a fist, as the wheel gets my grip
An old machine head, old permits, an old possession, old like this
Blazing evermore, set up right, reset the score

Is this where I’m bound to be?
Is this where I’m come to lead?
Ranger lone, range alone, carve my messages in stone
S.O.S. I detest, I am strung for the new west

The new west

Reinvention I might like to be a part of
Pre-conceptions I might like to have no part of
They said I wasn’t worth a thing, they said I’d never go away
I am not worried anymore, I’m finally going to relocate

Is this where I’m bound to die?
Is this where I’ve come to thrive?
Ranger lone, range alone, carve my messages in stone
S.O.S. I detest, I am strung for the new west

The new west
