《The West End》歌词

[00:00:00] The West End - John Mellencamp

[00:00:19] Well the West End now the West End then

[00:00:23] Went by the other day just to see my friend

[00:00:28] His house was dark his socks were thin

[00:00:33] I told him "Let's get out of West End"

[00:00:46] For my whole life

[00:00:48] I've been down in the West End

[00:00:51] It sure has changed here since I was a kid

[00:00:55] It's worse now look what progress did

[00:01:00] Someone lined the packers out

[00:01:02] I know who that is

[00:01:13] Well my old man slaved down here

[00:01:16] In the West End

[00:01:18] He thought the future was bright

[00:01:20] Way back then

[00:01:23] But it beat him down till he had nothing to give

[00:01:27] It broke his back took away his will to live

[00:01:40] Now me I don't think much of the West End

[00:01:45] I don't wanna end up like the old man did

[00:01:50] 'Cause I got dreams and

[00:01:51] They are bigger than this

[00:01:54] As far as I'm concerned

[00:01:56] You can keep the West End

[00:02:34] Well I guess down here in the West End

[00:02:40] Broken promises now and then

[00:02:44] It's not even fair to think they would

[00:02:48] 'Cause the West End now ain't no damn good

[00:03:02] Out there somewhere

[00:03:04] You know there's gotta be a place

[00:03:07] Where man can live with

[00:03:09] A smile on his face

[00:03:11] And everyday something new begins

[00:03:16] But it ain't down here at the West End

[00:03:38] Someday down here in the West End

[00:03:43] No one will remember how

[00:03:45] The whole place began
