Going Back West [Original 7'' Version, 1982]

[00:07.13] I was born and raised in the ghetto
[00:12.06] Talk with me and you'll know
[00:15.86] I wasn't satisfied with living on the side
[00:23.89] I started looking around for a possibility
[00:32.12] Listen to my story of what became of me
[00:40.08] I met a businessman
[00:42.28] Who said he had some friends back east
[00:47.96] So, why don't you come along?
[00:52.03] Well, we can help you at least
[00:56.03] We'll make you into a big star
[01:00.04] By playing your guitar
[01:04.37] But the joke was on me
[01:08.15] They left me flat to see
[01:12.89] Going back west
[01:15.18] Yes, I know I'll make out alright
[01:20.93] Going back west
[01:23.26] Where my music's playing all night
[01:29.00] Going back west (going back west)
[01:32.37] I think I'll do alright
[01:37.18] Going back west
[01:39.31] Yes, I know I'll make out alright
[01:45.17] Going back west
[01:47.40] Where my music's playing all night
[01:53.25] Going back west (going back west)
[01:56.44] I think I'll do alright
[02:01.19]
[02:05.65] 'Bout a year has come and gone ('bout a year has come and gone)
[02:40.98] And left me standing here (and left me standing here)
[02:45.07] Thinking how it could have been
[02:48.84] For still, I ain't nowhere
[02:52.87] They surely took me for a ride
[02:57.17] Trampled on my pride
[03:01.18] But I hold my head up high
[03:04.93] Got no more tears to cry
[03:09.73] Going back west
[03:12.08] Yes, I know I'll make out alright
[03:17.76] Going back west
[03:20.02] Where my music's playing all night
[03:26.35]
[03:41.97] Going back west (going back west)
[03:53.32] I think I'll do alright
[03:58.06] Going back west
[04:00.30] Yes, I know I'll make out alright (west)
[04:06.17] Going back west
[04:07.53]
