There's a picture of us in a bar, out in California
Eatin' fish Tacos an' drinkin' cold, cold beer
An' 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 the 101
One time we cruised all the way to Vancouver
Just to watch the settin' Sun, yeah
Just to watch the settin' Sun

Every time I looked in those far away eyes
I could see me gettin' left behind
I gave her my best
But her west was wilder than mine
Got lost in the desert an' found an Indian casino
An' she started rollin' those nines
Stackin' up the chips halfway to Heaven
Without even tryin'
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 losin' my mind
I gave her my best
But her west was wilder than mine
[Instrumental break]

An' I was gassin' up in a dust storm outside of Sedona
She was chasin' a tumbleweed
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

An' where the wild wind blows an' 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
There's a picture of us sin a bar, out in California
Eatin' fish Tacos an' drinkin' cold, cold beer
