I Can See It for Myself

A pilot's son won't fly

So it's a two-day drive

Kissed hs brave new wife goodbye

The road ends in a fence

She flies overhead

He starts his lonely trip out west

Western sky

The miles go by

She'll always get there first

And I'll always arrive

Meet you there

You take care

I love that look you get

Before you say goodbye

His conscience dark

Like an AM radio song

Fades in reflected off the clouds

After his father crashed

He moved his family back

And vowed to never leave the ground

Western sky

Between the signs

I'm spelling out your name

In neon passing by

Meet you there

Saturday

Now you be careful love

The road can hypnotize

And exit in the rain

She answered before it rang

But he can only say her name

Western sky

He laughs then signs

I'm only half way home

And stopping for the night

Glad you're there

You know my fear

I need those words you say

Before you say goodbye
