Noirsville Tune Of The Week

Tom Waits

Goin' Out West

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 

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 Olds 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 dragstrip courage

I can really drive a bed

I'm gonna 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

Take some speed

I'm gonna wait for the sun 

To shine down on me

I cut a hole in my roof

The shape of a heart

And I'm goin' out west 

Where they'll appreciate me

Goin' out west 

Goin' out west
