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
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 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
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
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 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
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
