I was born in the city
I was born in the city
And I was raised up right around here
Daddys down in the workhouse
Daddys down in the workhouse
Daddys down in the workhouse
Mama say aint no way hes 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 wasnt no use in me staying round
Im goin down to the corner
Im goin down to the corner
Im goin down to the corner
Dont 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 Im drowning
Sometimes I feel like Im drowning
Sometimes I feel like Im drowning
And I dont know what Im 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
Lord get me out of west nashville
Lord get me out of west nashville
