Like a ghost emptiness haunted his years
Still his heart was made of nothing less than good, oh
Insecure narrative in his head, something less than schizophrenia
Creeping him with every move that he makes, breath he takes
A pitiful walk alone to his empty home
Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, go
She hates me and I know it because she said so
And I forgot my notebook and my socialist manifesto
Will it be a tragedy or a comedy?
The choice is up to you, life can lead you along on a leash
Or you can break free and run on your own
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west
