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
