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 And since, since she's been gone I've done less right than I've done wrong I ain't that much worse than the rest Just that much further west 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 Just that much further west Out west the only sky is blue So tell Katie that I'll see her soon Til then, the thoughts that I have left Are that much further west
