Songtexte Going Back West - Die Campbells

I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied
With livin' on the side
I started lookin' around
For a possibility
Listen to my story
Of what became of me

I met a businessman
He said he had some friends back east
"So why don't you come along
Where 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

Goin' back west
Yes, I know I'll make out all right
Goin' back west
Where my music's playing all night
Goin' back west (Goin' back west)
I think I'll do all right
Goin' back west
Yes, I know I'll make out all right
Goin' back west
Where my music's playing all night
Goin' back west (Goin' back west)
I think I'll do all right

But a year has come and gone (Year has come and gone)
They left me standing here (Left me standing here)
Thinking how it could have been
But still I am 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

Goin' back west
Yes, I know I'll make out all right
Goin' back west
Where my music's playing all night
Goin' back west (Goin' back west)
I think I'll do all right
Goin' back west
Yes, I know I'll make out all right
Goin' back west
Where my music's playing all night
Goin' back west (Goin' back west)
I think I'll do all right

Goin' back west
Yes, I know I'll make out all right
Goin' back west
Where my music's playing all night
Goin' back west (Goin' back west)
I think I'll do all right
