Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm going 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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, maybe just Rex
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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 going out west where they'll appreciate me
I'm going out west where they'll appreciate me
I'm going out west where they'll appreciate me
I'm going out west where they'll appreciate me
[Outro]
I'm going out west, I'm going out west
I'm going out west, I'm going out west
I'm going out west, I'm going out west
I'm going out west, I'm going out west
