[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
C G
I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
C
I started looking around, for a possibility
G D G
Listen to my story, of what became of me
G
I met a businessman, who said he had some friends back east
C G
So why don't you come along, well we can help you at least
C
We'll make you into a big star, by playing your guitar
G D G
But the joke was on me, they left me flat, you see
[Chorus]
D
Going back west
C G
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
D
Going back west
C G
Where my music's playing all night
C D
Going back west (going back west)
G
I think I'll do alright
[Chorus]

Going back west (going back west)
G
I think I'll do alright
[Verse 2]
G
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
C G
I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret
C
Said we will stand by you, if the going gets rough
G D G
But when I started thinking, they didn't even bluff
(Key change to Ab, half step up)
[Verse 3]

'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
[Chorus]
