On The West Side Lyrics

Up all night now the streets are getting light on the west side.

Should be tired but there's something keeps me wired on the west side.

Air so sweet it almost stomach the aching.

In just one hour the city will be shaking.

Knocked out, undone,

there's just one place left to run. (one place left to run.)


Head up town, now I'm soaking up the sound of the west side.

Needle Square, all the regulars are there on the west side.

Taxi drivers waving like they know me.

Broadway locals traveling below me.

Hold on, have fun,

there's just one place left to run. (Just one place left to run.)


Ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Well I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Well I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.


Folks are kind, no predicting who you'll find on the west side.

Hey don't I know you from some place?

Share a cup of a little pick me up on the west side.

Sidewalk drop in promises salvation.

By and by they'll book him at the station.

Knocked out, undone,

there's just one place left to run. (One place left to run.)


Ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Well I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Well I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Say I'm ready, too ready, aha to be found on the west side.

Take a walk on the west side.
