In the beginning I was strong, nothing could get through

Road out ahead was long, oh what I thought I knew



Day after day I woke up mad, angry at something

Little could ease my mind, man is a foolish thing



You get some whiskey

You don't know what for

You grow up quickly

You drain the reservoir



Thought I would travel 'cross the land however I saw fit

No matter how obvious most things I never get



You put some miles on

You don't know where to

You change your makeup

And fool everyone who doesn't know you

You become stronger

You won't be held back

Any longer

You open your own doors



Here in El-Ay the nights are warm, days are warmer still

Everyone looks real fine

And falls for every thrill



Unusual rainbows fill the sky, the air is thick as thieves

Nobody ever asks you why, or for what you grieve



Here is the end of the western world

Here is the end of the country girl

Here is the end of an angry man

Here you can be something
