Lyric Goin Out West

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)

Well I m goin 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 know 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 goin out west
Where they ll appreciate me
Goin out west
Goin out west
