Going Back West Lyrics

Going Back West
Boney M


I was born and raised in the
ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied, with living on
the side
I started looking around, for a possibility

Listen to my
story, of what became of me

I met a businessman
Who said he had some
friends back east
So why don't you come along
Well we can help you at
least
We'll make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the
joke was on me
They left me flat to see

Going back west
Yes I know
I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all
night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do
alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going
back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back
west)
I think I'll do alright

Struggling for recognition, identity
and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we
will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when I started
thinking
They didn't even bluff

'bout a year has come and gone
And
left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
For still I ain't
nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But I hold
my head up high
Got no more tears to cry

Going back west
Yes I know
I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all
night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do
alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going
back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back
west)
I think I'll do alright

Going back west
Yes I know I'll make
out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
