Lyrics

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'll be proud of me
In my Olds '88 and the devil on a leash
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 drag strip courage, I can really drive a bed
I might change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex
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, get 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 going out west where they appreciate me
I'm going out west where they appreciate me
Going out west where they appreciate me
Going out west where they appreciate me
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
Going out west
