Boxed up all of 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   Prevailing nothing made sense   Just transportation and a blank decision      She's takin' off   Takin' off   Takin' off   Takin' off      No time and no coppin' out   She burning daylight petrol   Blacked out the rear view 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 takin' off   Takin' off   Takin' off   Takin' off      Oh, is it salvation   Or an escape from discontent?   Will she find her name   In the California cement?   Punched out of the grind   That punched her one too many times   Is tragedy two thousand miles away?      She's takin' off      Alright
