West Nashville Boogie Lyrics - Steve Earle

I was born in the city 

I was born in the city 

And I was raised up right around here 

Daddy's down in the workhouse 

Daddy's down in the workhouse 

Daddy's down in the workhouse 

Mama say ain't no way he's coming back here 

Went to school with some rich kids 

Went to school with some rich kids 

Went to school with some rich kids 

Bussed me half way across town 

Call us white trash and no count 

Call us white trash and no count 

Call us white trash and no count 

Say there wasn't no use in me staying round

I'm goin' down to the corner 

I'm goin' down to the corner 

I'm goin' down to the corner 

Don't you wait for me to come in 

Nothin' happens till midnight 

Nothin' ever happens till midnight 

Nothin' happens till midnight 

The boys get restless bout then 

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning 

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning 

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning 

And I don't know what I'm gonna do 

I got a razor in my pocket 

I got a razor in my pocket 

I got a razor in my pocket and 

I got a pistol hid down by the school

Lord get me out of West Nashville 

Lord get me out of West Nashville
