Going Back West

歌詞

I was born and raised in the ghetto Talk with me and you'll know I wasn't satisfied with living on the side I started looking around for a possibility But listen to my story, of what became of me I met a businessman Who said he got some friends back East Said, "Why don't you come along? Well we could help you atleast" "Make you into a big star By playing your guitar" But the joke was on me They left me flat to see Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) Think I'll do alright Struggling for recognition, identity and respect I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret Said, "We will stand by you If the going gets rough" But when I started sinking They didn't even bluff Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright 'Bout a year has come and gone And left me standing here Thinking how it could have been 'Cause still I ain't nowhere They surely took me for a ride Trampled on my pride But I'll hold my head up high Got no more tears to cry Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) Think, I'll do alright Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright
