Goin' Out West
           by Tom Waits



         C5
Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosi
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
Bb5 C5
Little brown sausages
                  Bb5 C5
Lying in the sand
 Bb5 C5           
I ain't no extra baby
                 Bb5 C5 
I'm a leading man
        Bb5 C5
Well my parole officer
                   
WIll be proud of me

With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
   Bb5 C5
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
     Eb5 F5         Eb5 F5
Well I know karate, Voodoo too
    Bb5 C5             Bb5 C5
I'm gonna make myself available to you
  Eb5 F5
I don't need no make up
      Eb5 C5
I got real scars
     G5 
I got hair on my chest
G5
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
