Goin' Out West

Tom Waits

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 kno 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
