I've been thinking about running away
Back to the mountains where I always seemed to know my place
You know, the city gets so lonely some days
I'm on my own, and the crowded streets make me feel so old
Where did the time go, I was just a boy with a dream of life on the road
Now the westward winds are calling me to my Rocky Mountain Home
Sometimes the smell of pine trees haunts me in my sleep
I stand beneath the open sky and find a stream to cool my feet
Woken from codeine dreams and I'm still so far away
Each day I grow older, never closer to finding my true place
You know, the city gets so lonely some days
I'm on my own, and the crowded streets make me feel so old
Where did the time go, I was just a boy with a dream of life on the road
Now the westward winds are calling me to my Rocky Mountain Home
I find myself wandering this concrete cave at night
I think of all the people who I so eagerly up and left behind
Pipe dreams and reveries remind me of better days
And I've finally found the meaning in those trips me and my dad would take
You know, the city gets so lonely some days
I'm on my own, and the crowded streets make me feel so old
Where did the time go, I was just a boy with a dream of life on the road
Now the westward winds are calling me to my Rocky Mountain Home
