Strophe)

I  was born and raised in the ghetto 

Talk with me and you´ll know 

I was´nt satisfied, with living on the side 

I started looking around, for a possablility 

Listen to my story, of what became of me 

 

Strophe) 

I met a businessman, who said he had some friend back east 

So why don´t you coma 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 you see 

 

Refrain) 

Going back west 

Yes, I know I´ll make out alright 

Going back west 

Where my music´s ölaying all night 

Going back west (going back west) 

I thing I´ll do alright

 

Refrain) 

Going back west 

Yes, I know I´ll make out alright 

Going back west 

Where my music´s ölaying all night 

Going back west (going back west) 

I thing I´ll do alright

 

Strophe) 

Struggling for recognition, identity and respect 

I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret 

Said we will sstand by you, if the going gets rough 

But when I started thinking, they didn´t even bluff 

 

Strophe) 

´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 

 

Refrain) 

Going back west 

Yes, I know I´ll make out alright 

Going back west 

Where my music´s ölaying all night 

Going back west (going back west) 

I thing I´ll do alright

 

Outro) 

Going back west (going back west) 

I think I´ll do alright
