Going Back West Lyrics

I was born and raised in the Ghetto



Takl 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 eas

So why don't you come along

well

we can help you at least.

So make you into a big star by playing your guitar.

But the joke was on me

they leff me flat

you see.

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.

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

Strugglin' 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 goin' gets rough



But when I started thinking they didn't even bluff.

But 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.

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

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