Go West

Artists : Liz Phair : Go West

Safe on the interstate
New York is three thousand miles away
And I'm not forward to following you
But it's better than always running back into you
I've got to tear my life apart
And go west young man

Take off the parking brake
Go coasting into a different state
And it feels like I got something to prove
But in some ways it's just something to do
I closed my eyes and my bank account and gone west young man

And I'm not looking forward to missing you
But I must have something better to do
My friend turned me around and said
You go west, young man

Stepping down off my platform shoes
69 in the afternoon
And I'm waiting for someone in the know
Like Perner 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 signs says you have gone west, young man

And it feel like I 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
