Rod Melancon Westgate lyrics
Westgate
Rod Melancon
GENRE
[Verse 1]
Tucked away in the bottom drawer of the town I grew up in was the low income housing called Westgate. It's where my football buddies and me would go to buy weed and whatever else we couldn't find in our parent's medicine drawer. That was the first time I saw Lisa. She had a Blue Oyster Cult t-shirt on and she was standin' next to a neon green Trans-Am. I thought I'd seen it all. Turns out I hadn't
[Chorus]
Down in Westgate
We wake up early then we stayin' up late
She claims it's mine down in Westgatе
Ain't got my eyes down in Westgatе
Westgate, West-a, Westgate
[Verse 2]
Fast forward to two weeks later and I'm hanging out with Lisa outside her mom and 'em's place. When officer Robicheaux pulls up and he looks me right in to the eye. He says "Hey Dimitri, ain't you supposed to be at football practice. Y'all got a big game coming up." I said "Man, I ain't never touching a football again."
[Chorus]
Down in Westgate
All my cousins down in Westgate
We up to nothin' down in Westgate
Y'all bound to find me down in Westgate
Westgate, West-a, Westgate
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Fast forward to 2004 and I'm sittin' in the belly of a tank in Central Afghanistan. High times in the land of crude oil and shrapnel. But if there was one thing that kept me sane while I was tretchin' through that god forsaken sand. It was the thought of Lisa and that neon green Trans-Am
[Outro]
Down in Westgate
She claims it's mine down in Westgate
Ain't got my eyes down in Westgate
We wake up early then we stayin' up late
All my cousins down in Westgate
We up to nothin' down in Westgate
Red and blue lights down in Westgate
Read me my rights down in Westgate
Westgate, West-a, Westgate
West, west, west, west
West, west, west, west
West, west, west, west
West, west, west, west
Westgate
Yeah, we always down in Westgate
All my cousins down in Westgate
We up to nothin' down in Westgate
