Driving down the interstate while my inner state reveals That a coward in the driver's seat won't admit the truth he feels While a sun is chasing tail lights as the adrenal rush fades While the horizons playing chicken with the choices that you've made Go west young man Go west Go west young man leave your future in the past Go west Go west Lowering an AC that never blew cold air added to the list of all the other empty prayers editing your gospel that you're about to preach a messiah in a desert doesn't sound like it's a reach No one needs to hear the truth when you sing their favorite lies It's not enough to die in the end they expect you still to rise Go west young man Go west Go west young man leave your future in the past Go west Go west Oh Oh oh I'm still driving east oh oh oh My shadows preceding me Oh I'm still driving east oh Can't see the star that's chasing me Me and all the vultures circle instinctually Reviled for our function like we chose to be this thing Blotting out the sun while those below us die Attenborough notes those near us won't survive No one ever does though so that's why I thought I'd try Cementing immortality with pretty little lies Go west young man Go west Go west young man leave your future in the past Go west Go west
