Lyrics Seasick Steve – Never Go West
Text:
Yeah, it was a cold black night
Oh, I remember it well
We was ridin’ in the box
Lord it be cold as hell
Before it snow
Body could freeze to death
No one ever know
We was headin’ west
Just to go south
About this plan
Well, I had my doubts
Slim said he wanted first stop
Out in Spokaloo
Said he knew a pretty little thing
And I think her name was Lou
Oh I had a bad feelin’
Well, we rolled into town
We was walkin’ down the street
Oh, I knew somethin’ wrong
I could feel the heat
Up come the police
Said “welcome to our town
Hop in the back seat, boys
Gon’ show you ’round”
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin’ south
Never ever whisper
When you know it’s time to shout
Fourteen days in the Spokane city jail
I was ready to sail
Captain said, “you learned your lesson, boy?”
Have no doubt
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin’
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin’ south
Never ever whisper
When you know it’s time to shout
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin’ south
Never ever whisper
When you know it’s time to shout
