lyrics

Always was a ne'er-do-well
Couldn't get much done
Every time you tried to move out of steam you'd run
Thought about a change of scene
Could use some rain
Maybe all that water would wash away your pain

The west just doesn't cut it, too much malaise
Go east, old man and cure you wicked ways
Jojo, your mama's waiting for you
Wearing high-heel shoes and a low-neck sweater
Get back, get back Loretta

LA goes on and on, drive for days and never leave
But it's also claustrophobic
It's easy to misperceive
Boston is all stacked up in tidy brownstone rows
You don't need a weather vain
To know which way the wind blows

There's two sides to every story
There's black and there's white
There are heads and there are tails
There is wrong and there is right
When you're pulled in two directions
Do you advance or retreat
East is east and west is west
And never the twain shall meet

The west just doesn't cut it, got no history
Go east, old man it's your manifest destiny
