I was born in the city
I was born in the city
I was born in the city
I was raised up right around hereMy 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 hereI went to school with some rich kids
I went to school with some rich kids
I went to school with some rich kids
'Cause I bussed me half way across townCall 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 roundI'm goin' down to the corner
I'm goin' down to the corner
I'm goin' down to the corner
Mama don't you wait for me to come inNothin' happens till midnight
Nothin' happens till midnight
Nothin' ever happens till midnight
When boys get restless bout then and they rockSometimes feel like I'm drowning
Sometimes feel like I'm drowning
Sometimes feel like I'm drowning
And I don't know what I'm gonna doI got a razor in my pocket
I got a razor in my pocket
I got a razor in my pocket and
I got me a pistol hid down by the schoolLord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
Lord get me out of West Nashville
