Westbound & Down Lyrics


Of Mice & Men Westbound & Down


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

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, thanks

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."

Well 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

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

So press on now baby, you never seemed so fake
Just give me something that's real again
