Someone Needs To Go Back Home

Go west, go west
That's what Horace Greeley said,
But that was years and years ago
Now Horace Greeley's dead
But the people all keep commin'
And there bringin' all their stuff
If Horace was around today
He'd say that's enough
For there's houses on the coast line
There's houses in the hills
If there's room to build a house there
You can dang sure bet they will
And sidewalks and super marts
And parkin' for the cars
And big old golden arches shinin'
Where there once was stars
Someone needs to go back home
Cause the west ain't goin' to hold us all
The western green got covered up
They built a shoppin' mall
Someone needs to go back home
Where grandpa use to run his cows
There's now a Chuckie Cheese
And you can't stop 'em boys
Your just spittin' in the breeze
The desert blooms with golf courses
Green grass grows
And where the water's comin' from
There ain't nobody knows
Someone needs to go back home
Cause the west ain't goin' to hold us all
The western green got covered up
They built a shoppin' mall
Someone needs to go back home
There must be towns back east
Where there ain't nobody left
Someplace they might go back to
If they ain't pooped in their nest
Out here there's only traffic jams
People every where
A bunch of rolin' hemorrhoids
Fowling up the air
Someone needs to go back home
Cause the west ain't goin' to hold us all
The western green got covered up
They built a shoppin' mall
Someone needs to go back home
Yeah, someone needs to go back home
