Out For The West Lyrics - Decimation Blues - Castanets

bought a Vanity Fair at the Value Village 

green tags half off bought some old Nike shoes 

and Sean Penn he was smiling from the cover 

the kind of smile that says there's nothing to lose just now 

November 1994 

my girl was 10, someone might have been at war 

but i don't know 

rang up at $7.54 

a few months wear for an hours pay 

rain on the windshield showed like diamonds in the sun 

May 28 and the Blazers won in OT 

Carlyle agreed that the boys had played fair 

clean in the paint and the calls had been square 

Jason Kidd and Oden were the last ones there when the cameras had gone 

sometimes it's 6 to go down 3 to wake up 

but the days are short and the night ain't so bad 

out in the valley i can hear the last of the trains 

and from the porch i hear her calling out my name from inside 

out for the west the pioneers they ran 

through Utah and the thunder to the golden land 

oh Harvey Milk, what a wonderful man (x2)
