Goin’ Out West
I’m not a big Tom Waits fan, but Gov’t Mule’s cover of his song “Goin’ Out West” is killer. The lyrics totally crack me up:
Well I know karate, voodoo too
I’m gonna make myself available to you
I don’t need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don’t lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I’m ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I’m gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
Those are manly lyrics if I’ve ever seen ‘em!
