Boney M. - The Essential Boney M.

Going Back West

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

'Bout a year has come and gone ('bout a year has come and gone)
And left me standing here (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 (west)
Going back west
