Westward gHOst is my first music compilation[1] in a really long time. For some reason one never really formed in my head. But on a recent trip out to West Texas we needed some music for the car ride and I threw a couple of songs onto CDs.

And so, Westward gHOst.

	Todd Snider – Greencastle Blues You know the number one symptom of heart disease The number one symptom of heart disease is sudden death It’s like time stands still forever until it starts shaking around on you Starts shaking around on you like some crazy old hooker on meth
	The Gourds – Tex-Mex Mile Well the south congress whores they is a movin’ on down the line They moved the cinema west down to Interstate 35 The Ho’s got their Johns following single file The aint’t good lookin’ but they got that freaky style
	Tom Petty – Mary Jane’s Last Dance Well she moved down here at the age of 18 She blew the boys away, was more than they’d seen I was introduced and we both started groovin’ She said, I dig you baby but I got to keep a movin’
