Her West Was Wilder

There's a picture of us in a bar, out in California

Eating fish tacos and drinking cold, cold beer

And man we had the time of our lives

Yes, that was a very good year

Drove all the way up the coast of California

All the way up the 101

One time we cruised all the way to Vancouver

Just to watch the setting sun, yeah

Just to watch the setting sun

Every time I looked in those far away eyes

I could see me getting left behind

I gave her my best

But her west was wilder than mine

♪

Got lost in the desert and found an Indian casino

And she started rolling those nines

Stacking up the chips halfway to Heaven

Without even trying

We watched it all go at the roulette wheel

She let it all ride on the black

She said, "Don't worry, baby, you can't keep, what you never had"

Can't keep what you never had

Laugh like the devil, howl at the moon

I knew I was losing my mind

I gave her my best

But her west was wilder than mine

♪

And I was gassing up in a dust storm outside of Sedona

She was chasing a tumble-weed

She flagged down a Kenwood, jumped in the cab

It was the last of her I'd ever see

It was the last of her I'd ever see

And where the wild wind blows and anything goes

As long as it's over the line

I gave her my best

But her west was wilder than mine

It was wilder than mine
