Westbound & Down lyrics

[Verse 1]

Daddy said, daddy said, go out and make me proud

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

Go ahead baby and say the words you want from me

Believe 'cause I'm the one that 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 2]

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"

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

We 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

[Outro]

So press on now baby, you never seemed so fake

Just give me something that's real again
