Going Back West - Die Campbells

作词：Jimmy Cliff

作曲：Jimmy Cliff

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

He said he had some friends back east

So why don't you come along

Well we could help you atleast

Well 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

Year has come and gone

They left me standing here

Left me standing here

Thinking how it could've been

But still I ain't nowhere

They surely took me for a ride

Trampled on my pride

But I'll 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

Going back west

Going back west

I think I'll do alright
