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 
Lord get me out of West Nashville 
Lord get me out of West Nashville
