Going Out West Lyrics - Dr. Feelgood

(tom waits/k. brennan) 

Well I'm going 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 

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 

My olds 88 

And the devil on a leash 

Well I kno karate, voodoo too 

I'm gonna make myself available to you 

I don't need no make up 

I got real scars 

I got hair on my chest 

I look good without a shirt 

Well I don'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'm gonna drive all night 

Take some speed 

I'm gonna wait for the sun 

To shine down on me 

I cut a hole in my roof 

In the shape of a heart 

And I'm going out west 

Where they'll appreciate me 

Going out west 

Going out west 

Album: on the road again
