E A B E
Safe on
E A B E
The interstate
E A B E
New York
E A B E
Is three thousand miles away
[Chorus]
E A B E
And I'm not looking forward to following through
E A B E
But it's better than always running back into you
E A B E
I've closed my eyes and my bank account
E A B E
And gone west, young man
[Verse]
E A B E
Take off
E A B E
The parking brake
E A B E
Go coasting
E A B E
Into a different state
[Chorus]
E A B E
And I'm not looking forward to missing you
E A B E
But I must have something better to do
E A B E
I've got to tear my life apart
E A B E
And go west, young man
E A B E
And it feels like I've got something to prove
E A B E
But in some ways it's just something to do
E A B E
My friends turn me around and say
E A E A E A E A
You go west, young man
[Verse]
E A B E
Stepping
E A B E
Down off my platform shoes
E A B E
Sixty-
E A B E
Nine in the afternoon
[Chorus]
E A B E
And I'm waiting for someone in the know
E A B E
Like Pirner tells me on the radio
E A B E
Says, "Take it from someone who's been there before
E A B E
You go west, young man"
E A B E
And I'm looking for somebody to do
E A B E
My thinking for me 'till I come through
E A B
The state-line highway sign says
E A E A E A E A
You have gone west, young man
[Verse]
E A B E
And it feels like I've got something to prove
E A B E
But in some ways it's just something to do
E A B E
The state-line highway sign says
E A E A E A E
You have gone west, young man
