Liz Phair - Go West Lyrics
Safe on the interstateNew york is three thousand miles awayAnd Im not looking forward to following throughBut its better than always running back into youIve closed my eyes and my bank accountAnd gone west, young manTake off the parking brakeGo coasting into a different state and Im not looking forward to missing youBut I must have something better to doIve got to tear my life apart and go west, young manAnd it feels like Ive got something to proveBut in some ways its just something to doMy friends turn me around and say, you go west, young manStepping down off my platform shoes69 in the afternoonAnd Im waiting for someone in the knowLike pirner tells me on the radioSays take it from someone whos been there beforeYou go west, young man and Im looking for somebody to do my thinking for me till I come throughThe state-line highway sign says you have gone west, young manAnd it feels like Ive got something to proveBut in some ways its just something to doThe state-line highway sign says you have gone west, young man
