Boney M. - Going Back West Lyrics
I was born and raised in the ghettoTalk with me and youll knowI wasnt satisfied, with living on the sideI started looking around, for a possibilityListen to my story, of what became of meI met a businessmanWho said he had some friends back eastSo why dont you come alongWell we can help you at leastWell make you into a big starBy playing your guitarBut the joke was on meThey left me flat to seeGoing back westYes I know Ill make out alrightGoing back westWhere my musics playing all nightGoing back west (going back west)I think Ill do alrightGoing back westYes I know Ill make out alrightGoing back westWhere my musics playing all nightGoing back west (going back west)I think Ill do alrightStruggling for recognition, identity and respectI got a lot of promisesThey told me not to fretSo we will stand by youIf the going gets roughBut when I started thinkingThey didnt even bluffbout a year has come and goneAnd left me standing hereThinking how it could have beenFor still I aint nowhereThey surely took me for a rideTrampled on my prideBut I hold my head up highGot no more tears to cryGoing back westYes I know Ill make out alrightGoing back westWhere my musics playing all nightGoing back west (going back west)I think Ill do alrightGoing back westYes I know Ill make out alrightGoing back westWhere my musics playing all nightGoing back west (going back west)I think Ill do alrightGoing back westYes I know Ill make out alrightGoing back westWhere my musics playing all night
