Seasick Steve - Never Go West lyrics

Yeah, it was a cold black night Oh, I remember it well We was ridin' in the box Lord it be cold as hell Tryin to get over the hump Before it snow Body could freeze to d**h 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 When I got out, have mercy 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
