She looked around and said that she was leaving
She said I just can't stay here anymore
I've lost faith in all that I believed in in this place
There's nothing here for me worth fighting for
And we ain't got no highways or no deserts
Where we can go when life starts getting us down
That Ford Cortina ain't no Chevy or no Coupe DeVille
Or car enough to drive us from this town
And her heart cries out for more
Of what she's never had before
Like the Rolling Stones in sixty five
You've gotta move to keep your dream alive
She headed west across the sea
Never thinking about me
Never paying any mind
To the one she left behind
Memories don't count for much
When you can't feel and you can't touch
I miss her touch
She told me there was something about the ocean
And how the sky it looked a different kind of blue
And when the devil wind comes crawling across the desert how you feel
It's stirring something deep inside of you
I wonder do you ever think about me
When that Eagles song comes on your radio
Or when you look up at the stars
And those boys with their guitars
On the billboards down on Sunset Boulevard
And her heart cries out for more
Of what she's never had before
Each day you fight just to survive
Gotta move to keep your dream alive
