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: "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
