I was born and raised in the Ghetto
Talk with me and you know.
I wasn't satisfied with living on this side
I started looking around for a possibility -
Listen to my story of what became of me.

I met a business man who said he'd
got some friends back east
So why don't you come along
where
we can help you with ease.
we'll make you into a big star by playing your guitar.
But the joke was on me
they left me flat
you see.

Chorus
Goin' back West - yes I know I'll make it alright.

music's playing aU. night.
Goin' back West - I think I do alright. x2

'Bout a year has come and gone
they leff 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 hold my head up high
got no more tears to cry.

Chorus
Goin' back West - yes I know I'll make it alright.
Goin' back West - where my
music's playing aU. night.
Goin' back West - I think I do alright. x2
