Going Back West - Boney M.

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 recognition

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.
