[Verse 1] I tried the quiet streets and the white picket lines A little patch of heaven I thought would fit just fine But I kept dreaming past it, where the mountains meet the sky Where the road keeps on going and the desert opens wide I want a fire in the evening, boots beside the door A truck packed for the weekend, always wanting something more And somewhere in that picture, there’s a woman I don’t know But somehow I can see her when I think about going home [Pre-Chorus] Maybe you’re out there somewhere Waking underneath the western sun Maybe all these roads I’ve taken Are just leading me to one [Chorus] The girl out west I haven’t met yet The one I’ll wake up wanting more of every day The one I’ll catch across the room And lose my train of thought just looking at her face Maybe we’ll chase the coast at sunset Maybe sleep beneath a million stars I don’t know your name, I don’t know where you are But I swear I’m on my way To the girl out west [Verse 2] I don’t need a perfect house or a lawn cut straight and clean Give me canyon roads and campfires and a little room to breathe A pack thrown in the back seat and no reason to come home Except knowing when I get there, I won’t be coming back alone I want mornings in the kitchen, your hair still half undone Coffee getting cold between us while we watch the morning sun And every time you look at me, even years on down the line I hope I still forget the words because I can’t believe you’re mine [Pre-Chorus] Maybe you’re out there somewhere Living all the life you’ve lived before And neither one of us can know yet What we’re being carried toward [Chorus] The girl out west I haven’t met yet The one I’ll wake up wanting more of every day The one I’ll catch across the room And lose my train of thought just looking at her face Maybe we’ll chase the coast at sunset Maybe sleep beneath a million stars I don’t know your name, I don’t know where you are But I swear I’m on my way To the girl out west [Bridge] I thought that home was something You could build and call complete Four walls, a yard, a mailbox And the same familiar street But maybe home is someone Who makes every road feel right Someone I can’t wait to wake beside And hate to say goodnight [Final Chorus] So here’s to the girl I haven’t met yet The one who’ll make the whole damn journey make some sense We’ll leave the city in the rearview Find some nowhere place and pitch a little tent I’ll still stare at you in the morning Like I did the very first time And every road I took before you Will finally feel like it was mine If it led me out west To you [Outro] So wherever you are tonight Under some western sky Maybe you’re looking for me too And we just haven’t met yet
