[00:06.99]I was born and raised in the ghetto
[00:11.97]Talk with me and you'll know
[00:15.78]I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
[00:23.82]I started looking around, for a possibility
[00:32.07]Listen to my story, of what became of me
[00:39.96]I met a businessman
[00:42.00]Who said he had some friends back east
[00:47.85]So why don't you come along
[00:51.96]Well we can help you at least
[00:55.98]We'll make you into a big star
[00:59.97]By playing your guitar
[01:05.19]But the joke was on me
[01:08.04]They left me flat to see
[01:09.78]Going back west
[01:15.03]Yes I know
[01:16.83]I'll make out alright
[01:17.46]Going back west
[01:17.79]Where my music's playing all night
[01:20.91]Going back west (going back west)
[01:24.21]I think I'll do alright
[01:37.32]Going back west
[01:39.21]Yes I know
[01:41.58]I'll make out alright
[01:42.30]Going back west
[01:45.33]Where my music's playing all night
[01:53.19]Going back west (going back west)
[01:54.33]I think I'll do alright
[02:04.17]Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
[02:12.84]I got a lot of promises
[02:16.59]They told me not to fret
[02:20.58]So we will stand by you
[02:24.87]If the going gets rough
[02:28.86]But when I started thinking
[02:33.84]They didn't even bluff 'bout a year has come and gone
[02:40.92]And left me standing here
[02:45.09]Thinking how it could have been
[02:49.14]For still
[02:49.50]I ain't nowhere
[02:52.83]They surely took me for a ride
[02:55.05]Trampled on my pride
[03:01.62]But I hold my head up high
[03:04.89]Got no more tears to cry
[03:06.33]Going back west
[03:11.91]Yes I know
[03:13.98]I'll make out alright
[03:14.94]Going back west
[03:20.01]Where my music's playing all night
[03:21.06]Going back west (going back west)
[03:22.86]I think I'll do alright
[03:26.10]Going back west
[03:27.03]Yes I know
[03:28.56]I'll make out alright
[03:34.14]Going back west
[03:34.77]Where my music's playing all night
[03:35.43]Going back west (going back west)
[03:39.99]I think I'll do alright
[03:58.32]Going back west
[04:00.30]Yes I know
[04:01.83]I'll make out alright
[04:03.30]Going back west
[04:06.63]Where my music's playing all night
