[Verse 1]
Bb5         C5
Well, I'm goin' out west where the wind blows tall
N.C.
'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
 
Do what I want and I'm gonna get paid
 
Bb5 C5                               Bb5 C5
Little brown sausages lying in the sand
 Bb5 C5                                   Bb5 C5
I ain't no extra, baby, 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
 
[Chorus]
      Eb5 F5         Eb5 F5
Well, I know karate, voodoo too
    Bb5 C5             Bb5 C5
I'm gonna make myself available to you
  Eb5 F5                      Eb5 F5
I don't need no make up, I got    real scars
     G5                 G5
I got hair on my chest.     I look good without a shirt
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.
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
 
[Chorus]
Eb5 F5         Eb5 F5
I know karate, voodoo too
    Bb5 C5             Bb5 C5
I'm gonna make myself available to you
  Eb5 F5                      Eb5 F5
I don't need no make up, I got    real scars
     G5                 G5
I got hair on my chest.     I look good without a shirt
 
[Verse 3]
N.C.
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
N.C.
And I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me
 
I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me
 
I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me
 
I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me
N.C.
Goin' out west, goin' out west
 
Goin' out west, goin' out west
 
Goin' out west, goin' out west
 
Goin' out west, goin' out west
