- Also in: Miscellaneous
Boxed up all of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and a westbound sign
Weighed out her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a blank decision
She's takin' off
Takin' off
Takin' off
Takin' off
No time and no coppin' out
She burning daylight petrol
Blacked out the rear view mirror heading westward on
Strung out on confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought and she's determined
She's takin' off
Takin' off
Takin' off
Takin' off
Oh, is it salvation
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find her name
In the California cement?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times
Is tragedy two thousand miles away?
She's takin' off
Alright
