Laying in the back seat listening to the man sing his love song from a long time ago Had her once but never again Now he spends his time crying on the radio I'm gonna take my curtain call I'm headed west to nowhere at all Tumble down the river 'til I'm out of land Count the coins in my pocket and head to the picture show The hero climbs a mountain and he conquers the earth by he's spurned by love and reduced to a cameo I'm gonna take my curtain call I'm headed west to nowhere at all Swinging on the train trying to miss my stop My eyes glaze over and the letter falls from my hand A woman picks it up and she hands it back I say you can keep it cause I'm getting out while I can I'm gonna take my curtain call I'm headed west to nowhere at all
