"Westward Bound" (Lyrics)
Packed a suitcase, sold the rest
Couldn't wait to leave that town
US Highway rolling west
With all the windows down
Turns out I'm not a city girl
I miss the trees and sky and ground
I need to see what part of me
I lost can still be found
Going westward-bound
Going westward-bound
Stop for breakfast in the middle of west Texas
At a diner stuck in time
Where old men read the paper, drink their coffee black
Every morning of their lives
The waitress knows them all by name
Got their orders memorized
This is the America
That the Interstate left behind
Going westward-bound
Going westward-bound
Pass the corn fields and the UFO museum
Little churches washed in white
With names like Holy Restoration
Tabernacle of Eternal Life
In the mountains of New Mexico
I cross the Great Divide
Flip through the empty radio
And drive on through the night
I got a million miles on this car, what's a thousand more
Traveling so light that I might soar
Going westward-bound, westward-bound
Westward-bound
Gotta get lost if you're gonna get found
Going westward-bound
With a quarter million miles under her belt and counting, North Carolina native Emily Scott Robinson travels the dusty highways of America's wild country, capturing the stories of the people she meets and expertly crafting them into songs. Robinson received critical acclaim for her debut album Traveling Mercies-- Rolling Stone named it one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019.” In 2021, Robinson signed with Oh Boy records, the label founded by the legendary John Prine, and released her follow-up album American Siren. It made numerous “Best of 2021” lists including NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and No Depression. In 2022, Robinson released a collaboration for theater called Built on Bones, a song cycle written for the Witches of Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring artists Alisa Amador and Violet Bell.

Grady lead me here...awesome..thank you
Same.
Same ngl

Thanks, Grady!!
Love me some Grady Smith!
LOVE this, so cinematic in that this belongs on a soundtrack of a coming of age movie.
One of the best artists I've heard in a long time. You're amazing!
This song gets me every time. I’m a sobbing mess right now.
Love your music❤
Really lovely song and voice!
Awesome... thank you to @LifeIsaJoyBus for bringing me to you.
Beutiful video too lol, forgot to add that
Just found this because of Grady Smith and have been listening to it on repeat ever since. One of my favorites now.
Thank you, Jeffrey! Grady has really helped get my music out to people. I'm so happy you found me!
@@EmilyScottRobinson Yeah, I'm a classical pianist, but I heard your music this morning, bought your two albumbs on your site and pre-ordered your next one. Wow do you connect with me! Thanks for doing you!
Grady Smith puts you high up on his top songs of 2019. Well ain't that something to have a happy new year to! Love the song and wishing you an amazing 2020!!!
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. The sound of this track perfectly captures the feelings of traveling through the american West. Kudos to you Emily, this was a privilege to listen to.
Thank you, Daniel!! :)
Magnificent, especially without a band ... just you and your excellent guitar mastery -- that way it is 100% you! No country singer better or enjoyable as you are!!
This song is very similar in spirit to "Coronel Pringles" by Celeste Carballo.
In that song an argentinian girl grabs her car, leaves the big city and goes back to her hometown in the country side. ruclips.net/video/Kifam6r3YC8/видео.html
I first listened to this song while driving through the Ozarks around Thanksgiving. I really like the references to the small towns. I think it really needs some banjo in the background. ;-)
I'm always in favor of more banjo! It's the only instrument I wish I'd added to the record! Next time. :)
Travelling Mercies is one of the most genuine, down to Earth, well-written and beautiful collection of songs I've ever heard. I am actively anticipating the next album
Thank you! :) Currently working on songs for the next one and cannot wait to share with you!
A genuine western artist. Lovely 70’s vibe
I just found your music and love it so much!
This is what country radio should sound like.
My name is Emily Scott too. I want to be like you
Ok, I m a fan!! Great song, great video, great feel ....♡
I'm also here because of Grady. :D
He's so awesome!
Diggin your style & sound! And a subscriber I became...Keep up the good work, I look forward to listening
This song is wonderful. Simply wonderful.
Closed in a space between imagination and reality, our feelings become sounds, and sounds become our universe. Our songs are our truth. It doesn't have to make sense. No one can question nor deny our truth because it's absolute. Only you can speak your truth.
As you keep writing, you care less about what people think, more about living your life authentically because only authentic living provides the best material for songwriting. And when you realize that, you are in this infinite loop of feeling every emotion that comes your way and jotting it down as soon as inspiration strikes. It's random yet heavily and relieving.
Deep inside you know that, when your emotion finds inspiration, it's translated into expression - a song. And that my friend, is your truth. And when you move a soul with your truth, it feels good to know that, as Emerson put it - one life has breathed easier because you have lived .
Thank you, Emily. The universe is looking after you, and you'll go places - first, in your imagination, and then the world outside.
Great voice and personality... SUPERB!
Just to understand that. Why is this RUclips channel so small, but the Spotify account has like 150k monthly listeners? Great music though. Just a little confused.
Great question! ;) My songs are on some really big playlists on Spotify, so I have lots of monthly listeners! I haven't been making or releasing videos for very long, so with your help I'll keep on growing here! :)
This album is album is absolutely amazing!! I love your voice. Your music just means so much💜💜
Dam!! I love this song....perfection. Great highway song. Better than Lightfoots "Alberta Bound" and I'm an Albertan.....this could even be sacrilegious.
I always support NC artist, My family is from western PA, but I was the first born in NC. In Lexington. So I try support artist from NC, like Scotty, Luke, Randy and others.
beautiful song
Wonderful video!
This is awesome 👏, but if not for Grady I would probably never see this.
That was so poignant. Great song and does so well in recreating the road trip
✨ Beautiful ✨
Love this song! I can't wait to hear what you come up with next.
Ome on country radio! Don't leave your women behind.
I love the guitar on this one!
Love the song, it seems close to Gentle on my mind... both amazing songs
Beautiful tune. Almost has shades of Glen Campbell and Gentle On My Mind.
Sounds so good, Emily
LOVE, just beautiful Emily
Thank you, Vid! Love you!!
Grady Smith sent me. And this is beautiful!
Can I just say this is honestly amazing. You are so underrated!!!!!
Thank you Grady for introducing me to this song!
