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
