Boxed up all 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
Prevailed nothing made sense
Just transportation and a blank decision
She's taking off
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview 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 taking off
Is it salvation or an
Escape from disconent
Will she find her name
In the California cement
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times
Is tragedy 2,000 miles away
She's taking off
