Going Back West - 7" Version

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
 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
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright
 ♪
 'Bout a year has come and gone ('bout a year has come and gone)
 And left me standing here (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
 ♪
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright
 Going back west
 Yes, I know I'll make out alright (west)
