Artist: Liz Phair Album: Whip-Smart (1994) Title: Go West
Lyrics Go WestSafe 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 friend's 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 Pirnir tells me on the radio ed. note: this is the way it's spelled on the lyrics sheet. It may be "Pirner," as in Dave 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 |
