I met a businessman

Who said he got some friends back East

Said, "Why don't you come along?

Well we could help you atleast"

"Make you into a big star

By playing your guitar"

But the joke was on me

Where my music's playing all night

Going back West (Going back West)

Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
C G
I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret

Said, "We will stand by you

If the going gets rough"

They didn't even bluff

'Bout a year has come and gone

And left me standing here

Thinking how it could have been

'Cause still I ain't nowhere

They surely took me for a ride

Trampled on my pride
G#
But I'll hold my head up high
D# G# G#7
Got no more tears to cry
