  boxed up all of her favorite things, sold the rest ata rainy yard sale
  big plans and leaving friends and a Westbound sign
  weighed out her choices on a scale, prevaling nothing made sense
    just  transportation   and   a    blank        decision she's taking

  Second Verse (Do same chords as you did on 1st verse):
  
  no time and no copping out, she's burning daylight and petrol
  black out and review mirror heading westward on
  strung out on confusion road and ten minutes nevous break downs
  Xanax a beer for thought, and she's determined, she's taking off (Then 
  it goes back into the Chorus)

     is this salvation or an escape from discontent
     will she fling her name in California cement
     punched out of grind, they punched her one too many times
