Going Back West lyrics
I was born and raised in the Ghetto
Takl with me and you know.
I wasn't satisfied with living on this side
I 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 eas
So why don't you come along
well
we can help you at least.
So make you into a big star by playing your guitar.
But the joke was on me
they leff me flat
you 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 reco
gnition
identity and respect
I got a lot of promises they told me not to fret.
Said we will stand by you if the goin' gets rough
But when I started thinking they didn't even bluff.
But a year has come and gone
they leff me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
'cause 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 it alright . . .
Going back West - yes I know I'll make it alright.

The fantastic group Boney M.is adoreable to me I listen madly to their songs,Iam now 41 years dld I have been listening to this grup since I was 13. The lyrics are ok, and they help me alot to figure out some parts of the songs which were not clear to me so thank you for doing them.
