Verse 1 I was sittin' in my room one day Drinkin' all my troubles away When I realized There had to be somethin' I could do Instead of thinkin' 'bout you So I decided to change my life I looked at my house one last time And said my final good-byes I didn't know where I should turn I put my foot on he accelerator Then I said, "Later gator" These wheels I would burn. VERSE 2 (chords the same as verse 1) CHORUS: I'm going west Straight out of here Leaving my heartaches and my fears If anyone dares to stop me Go ahead and try Because I am going to change my life. VERSE 2 (Same Chords as verse 1) No more worries, no more cares Let the wind just blow in my hair I'm going to start all over again With my feet planted firmly on the ground My new life wouldn't make a sound No one would know where I'd been. (CHORUS) Riff: I might even start a family Get a dog or two And maybe one these days I'll forget about you
