[Verse 1]
Well, I tried, and I can't run no more
So tell Katie it's her that I adore
And as long as I love her best
I'm that much further west

[Verse 2]
And since, since she's been gone
I've done less right than I've done wrong
But I ain't that much worse than the rest
I'm just that much further west

[Verse 3]
And the boys, they don't need my help
They can play these songs by themselves
Well, I ain't that much worse than the rest
I'm just that much further west

[Verse 4]
And the west is the only sky that's blue
So tell Katie that I'll see her soon
Until then, the thoughts that I have left
Are that much further west
