Lyrics Going Back West

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
Listen to my story of what became of me
I met a businessman who said he had some friends back east
So why don't you come along? well we can help you at least
We'll 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 yes I know
I'll make out alright
Going back west where my music's playing all night
I think I'll do alright
Going back west yes I know
I'll make out alright
Going back west where my music's playing all night
I think I'll do alright
Struggling for recognition identity and respect
I got a lot of promises they told me not to fret
So we will stand by you if the going gets rough
But when I started thinking they didn't even bluff
'Bout a year has come and gone and left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been for 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 out alright
Going back west where my music's playing all night
I think I'll do alright going back west
Going back west
I think I'll do alright going back west
Yes I know
I'll make out alright
Going back west where my music's playing all night
I think I'll do alright going back west
