Lyrics & Music by: Billy Steinberg, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Kelly
Ooh
I drop my hat to a restless wind
Ooh this time, I'm not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
You're looking through me like I never was real
You say you love me but you won't let me feel
So I'm gonna take a chance this time
And find myself some place where I can heal
And I'm heading west without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west, oh
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read, I'm heading west
I said my name under my breath
Ooh, he turned down a twisted road, I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said
The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees,
I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again
And I'm heading west without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west, oh, west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read, I'm heading west
And if I fall down on the knees,
I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again
And I'm heading west without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west, oh
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read, I'm heading west
Heading west

Ooh, ooh
Heading west
Heading west
