A pilot's son won't fly   So it's a two-day drive   Kissed his 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   Before you say goodbye      His conscience waits for 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   The road can hypnotize   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 sighs   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   Before you say goodbye   Before you say goodbye
