[00:00.00]Going Back West (7" Version) - Boney M.
[00:03.72]Written by: Jimmy Cliff
[00:07.44]I was born and raised in the Ghetto
[00:12.28]Talk with me and you'll know
[00:16.08]I wasn't satisfied with living on the side
[00:24.08]I started looking around for a possibility
[00:32.31]But listen to my story of what became of me
[00:40.19]I met a businessman
[00:43.87]Who said he got some friends back east
[00:48.09]Said why don't you come along
[00:52.24]Well we could help you atleast
[00:56.30]Make you into a big star
[01:00.18]By playing your guitar
[01:04.25]But the joke was on me
[01:08.36]They left me flat to see
[01:13.05]Going back west
[01:15.38]Yes I know I'll make out alright
[01:21.13]Going back west
[01:23.43]Where my music's playing all night
[01:29.20]Going back west
[01:31.84]Going back west
[01:32.86]I think I'll do alright
[01:37.25]Going back west
[01:39.63]Yes I know I'll make out alright
[01:45.34]Going back west
[01:47.58]Where my music's playing all night
[01:53.42]Going back west
[01:55.33]Going back west
[01:57.28]I think I'll do alright
[02:04.58]Struggling for recognition identity and respect
[02:13.04]I got a lot of promises they told me not to fret
[02:20.87]Said we will stand by you
[02:25.00]If the going gets rough
[02:29.14]But when I started sinking
[02:32.55]They didn't even bluff
[02:37.15]'Bout a year has come and gone
[02:39.47]'Bout a year has come and gone
[02:41.41]And left me standing here
[02:43.00]And left me standing here
[02:45.12]Thinking how it could have been
[02:49.13]'Cause still I ain't nowhere
[02:53.22]They surely took me for a ride
[02:57.31]Trampled on my pride
[03:01.11]But I'll hold my head up high
[03:05.22]Got no more tears to cry
[03:09.96]Going back west
[03:12.30]Yes I know I'll make out alright
[03:18.01]Going back west
[03:20.30]Where my music's playing all night
