scott-nix "A Western Star rolls by somewhere it needs to be". In my mind I can literally see this song being written. RV late at night going to the next gig. Tami with her Spiderman spiral notebook looking out the window composing one of my favorite songs of all time.

lyrics

Manitoba Sunrise at Motel 6
T Neilson

V1
8000 miles from home, I just looked it up
This ain’t my bed, my TV or my coffee cup
Silence fills my head like the snow hits the ground
A line of pillows next to me that never make a sound

CH
O lonesome prairie wind
Won’t you blow me home again
To the love I left behind
That never leaves my mind
My head is dark and my heart feels sick
A Manitoba sunrise at another Motel 6

V2
A Western Star rolls by, someplace it needs to be
Watch the taillights leave for miles, is that how you watch me
I’m asleep, you’re awake, I’m awake, you’re asleep
Don’t matter night or day
In my broken heart you beat
