go west

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