Eastern Girl

I have my bags packed and I’m ready to go
And I’m taking off in a pickup truck to whereer the wind blows
I have my guitar, enough money to getthrough
And I’m heading out West to show ’em
What this Eastern girl can do

But don’t worry I’ll be back to sit on the court house wall
Don’t worry I’ll be back and we’ll smoke the law
But I’m not looking back when the morning brings the sun
I’m not looking back, I gotta be someone

I have the ambition, freedom’s yet to be found
So cross your fingers when I’m not around
When I am gone the rain may wash away my tracks
But my home is Pennsylvania
And this Eastern girl will come back

But don’t worry I’ll be back to sit on the court house wall
Don’t worry I’ll be back and we’ll smoke the law
But I’m not looking back when the morning brings the sun
I’m not looking back, I gotta be someone

So goodbye my friends I’ve got to run
And I’m taking my music box and my silver dragon
I’m taking my six-pack
I’m heading out West
And I’m gonna show ‘em
What this Eastern girl knows best
