Lyric Go West

Safe on the interstate
New York is three thousand miles away
And I m not looking forward to following through
But it s better than always running back into you
I ve closed my eyes and my bank account
And gone west, young man

Take off the parking brake
Go coasting into a different state
And I m not looking forward to missing you
But I must have something better to do
I ve got to tear my life apart
And go west, young man

And it feels like I ve got something to prove
But in some ways it s just something to do
My friends turn me around and say,
"You go west, young man."Stepping down off my platform shoes
Sixty-nine in the afternoon
And I m waiting for someone in the know
Like Pirner tells me on the radio
Says "Take it from someone who s been there before,
You go west, young man."

And I m 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 I ve got something to prove
But in some ways it s just something to do
The state-line highway sign says,
"You have gone west, young man."
