Boney M - Going Back West lyrics

Your rating:
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
