Well I'm goin' out west where the wind blows the 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 no 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 forget about you.
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

Well I know karate, Voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself forget about you.
I don't need to make up I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt

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 goin' out west Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west
Goin' out west
