LIZ PHAIR - Go West lyrics

rate me

Safe on the interstate<br>New york is three thousand miles away<br>And I'm not looking forward to following through<br>But it's better than always running back into you<br>I've closed my eyes and my bank account<br>And gone west, young man<br><br>Take off the parking brake<br>Go coasting into a different state and I'm not looking forward to missing you<br>But I must have something better to do<br>I've got to tear my life apart and go west, young man<br>And it feels like I've got something to prove<br>But in some ways it's just something to do<br>My friends turn me around and say, 'you go west, young man'<br><br>Stepping down off my platform shoes<br>69 in the afternoon<br>And I'm waiting for someone in the know<br>Like pirner tells me on the radio<br>Says take it from someone who's been there before<br>You go west, young man and I'm looking for somebody to do my thinking for me till I come through<br>The state-line highway sign says you have gone west, young man<br>And it feels like I've got something to prove<br>But in some ways it's just something to do<br>The state-line highway sign says you have gone west, young man
