Goin' Out West

Lyrics

I'm goin' out west where the wind blows tall

'Cause Tony Franciosa used to date my ma

They got some money out there, they're giving it away

I'm gonna do what I want and I'm gonna get paid

Do what I want and I'm gonna get paid

Little brown sausages lying in the sand

I ain't no extra, baby, I'm a leading man

Well, my parole officer will be proud of me

With my Olds 88 and the devil on a leash

I know karate, voodoo too

I'm gonna make myself available to you

I don't need no makeup, I got real scars

I got hair on my chest, I look good without a shirt

Well, I won't lose my composure in a high-speed chase

Well, my friends think I'm ugly, I got a masculine face

I got some dragstrip courage, I can really drive a bed

I'm gonna change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex

Change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex

I know karate, voodoo too

I'm gonna make myself available to you

I don't need no makeup, I got real scars

I got hair on my chest, I look good without a shirt

I'm gonna drive all night, get some speed

I'm gonna wait for the sun to shine down on me

I cut a hole in my roof, the shape of a heart

And I'm goin' out west where they appreciate me

I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me

Goin' out west where they'll appreciate me

Goin' out west
