Way Out West Songtext
von Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives

Well I took a little green pill in Morenci Arizona
On my way out to sunny Califorinia
Been driving cross county for three long days
I was all wooped up in an indigo haze
The pill kicked in and I shut down
Then the world went spinning
Round and round and round and round and round

Should a got a room in Texas

Let me tell you about Diamond Bill Culver and Hurricane Kate
They had ′em a circus tent out there in the Golden State
The hired me on as a high-wire man
Well I got a little scared, yea, well, you understand
Took a pretty blue pill to settle my nerves
Though it would help me them big old curves
Then the pill kicked in and I fell down
Then the world went spinning
Round and round and round and round and round


Saw flying saucers, scorpions
Crawling around in the hot, hot sun
Cowboys and Indians, little green men
Had poisonous snakes all over my skin
Big chief said come and be my guest
Step across the line then your way out west
Way out west

Here it comes
The story of big Bill Chisum
He saw Johnny Cash sing out there at Folsom prison
He had twenty years left but he couldn't wait
Duing the encore, Bill slipped out the front gate
I know more but I won′t tell
He dealt me a mean black pill
The pilled kicked in and I locked down
And the world went spinning
Round and round and round and round and round

So enjoy the clean air, the great western skies
Shooting stars, cactus, pretty butterflies
Roadrunners, and big palm trees, big buffalo
Just follow your heart and where your spitit tells you to go
But if you go out west it will give you a big thrill
Don't matter how you get there
Just don't take the pills
They′re bad, they′ll kill you, throw you down

Way out west, way out west, way out west, way out west
