Westbound & Down

Daddy said, daddy said go out and make me proud

if only he could see the way you've turned out now

come on baby, and see the words you want from me

believe cause I'm the one who wrote this song



if I could turn back time and read your mind

besides these dice and cards I'm just another game



if you could live forever

you'd still wanna be a one night stand



you can walk on cause I'm leaving

goodbye to you and everything

you can walk on cause I'm leaving

goodbye to you and everything



look at the mess and mistakes you've made

heroes, yeah I will remain

look at the mess and mistakes you've made

heroes yeah I will remain

I won't be another notch on bedpost sheets

I won't be another notch on bedpost sheets



you tried to test me and you failed

I'll stay the course, I'll stay the course

I'll hold my head up high



another misread lullaby

I won't be misread again

I won't be here waiting goodbye to you, goodbye



you can walk on cause I'm leaving

goodbye to you and everything

you can walk on cause I'm leaving

goodbye to you and everything



you wrote the book

you wrote the lies

so take this forever



we wrote the book

you wrote the lies

so take this forever



forth in writing oh my god

forth in writing oh my god

oh.my.god.



so press on baby, you've never seemed so fake

just give me something that's real again
