Liz Phair - Go West lyrics
[Liz Phair - Go West lyrics]
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
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
