lyrics

lyrics:

i'm sick and tired, of hangin round
with my head up my ass, and my feet under ground
tryin to walk the tight wire

i’ll head out west, do what i do best
take a shot in the dark, gonna make my mark
gotta light the world on fire

got to make a new life, for my children and wife
oh my dear, we gotta get out of here
because you know this burg’s a bust

i got a new plan, gonna make my stand
gonna burn up the track, there’s no looking back
gonna make them eat my dust
