"East" lyrics

Nobody ever knows it when I'm sad
I keep the house clean and I know how to dance
But we're all breathing in the same air
You cannot disguise it with your hands

So I saddled up my pony
I put boots on my feet
They said it would be lonely
Well that's what I seek

Going east

You can tell my buddies I'm okay
I'm just chasing after my decay
Or else there's something that I need
Outside the shadow of those ancient trees
And tell them I just had to be
Somewhere I could cry in peace

Going east
I'm going east

I wave at every town that I go past
Stare up at the sun while I'm waiting on the gas
And I won't be there when it sets
Now that I'm leaving the west
