Goin' Out West

Tom Waits Tom Waits

I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa
Used to date my mom
They got some money out there
They're giving it away

I'm gonna do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
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 Old's 88
And the devil on a leash
My Old's 88
And the devil on a leash

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 drag-strip 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 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

I'm gonna drive all night
Get 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
I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me

I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me

Goin' out west
Goin' out west
Goin' out west
