Going Back West lyrics
by Boney M.



I was born and raised in the GhettoTalk with me and you know.I wasn't satisfied with living on this sideI started looking around for a possibility -Listen to my story of what became of me.I met a business man who said he'd got some friends back easSo why don't you come alongwellwe can help you at least.So make you into a big star by playing your guitar.But the joke was on methey leff me flatyou see.Goin' back West - yes I know I'll make it alright.Goin' back West - where my music's playing aU. night.Goin' back West - I think I do alright.Goin' back West - yes I know I'll make it alright. . . . Strugglin' for recognitionidentity and respectI got a lot of promises they told me not to fret. Said we will stand by you if the goin' gets roughBut when I started thinking they didn't even bluff.But a year has come and gonethey leff me standing hereThinking how it could have been'cause still I ain't nowhere.They surely took me for a ridetrampled on my prideBut I hold my head up highgot no more tears to cry.Going back West - yes I know I'll make it alright . . .Going back West - yes I know I'll make it alright.
