Go West (Girly-Sound Version)

[Verse 1]

Safe on the interstate

New York is three thousand miles away

And I'm not looking forward to following through

But it's better than always running back into you

I've got to tear my life apart

And go west, young man

[Verse 2]

Take off the parking brake

Go coasting into a different state

And it feels like I've got something to prove

But in some ways it's just something to do

I've closed my eyes and my bank account

And gone west, young man

[Verse 3]

And I'm not looking forward to missing you

But I must have something better to do

My friend's turn me around and say

"Go west, young man"

[Verse 4]

Stepping down off the platform shoes

Sixty-nine in the afternoon

And I'm not waiting for someone in the know

Like Pirner tells me on the radio

Says, "Take it from someone who's been there before

You go west, young man,"

[Verse 5]

And I'm looking for someone to do

My thinking for me 'till I come through

The state-line highway sign says

"You have gone west, young man"

[Verse 6]

And it feels like I've got something to prove

But in some ways it's just something to do

The state-line highway sign says

"You have gone west, young man"
