West Nashville Boogie Lyrics

Steve Earle

[Verse]
I was born in the city[x3]
I was raised up right around here
Daddy's down in the workhouse[x3]
Mama say ain't no way he's coming back here
I went to school with some rich kids[x3]

Because I bussed me half way across town
Call us white trash and no count[x3]
Say there wasn't no use in me staying round
I'm going down to the corner[x3]
Mama don't you wait for me to come in
Nothing happens till midnight[x3]
When boys get restless bout then and they rock
Sometimes feel like I'm drowning[x3]
And I don't know what I'm going to do
I got a razor in my pocket[x3]
I got me a pistol hid down by the school
Lord get me out of West Nashville[x4]
