《Going Back West(7” Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Going Back West (7" Version) - Boney M (波尼M)

[00:00:02] Written by: Jimmy Cliff

[00:00:07] I was born and raised in the Ghetto

[00:00:12] Talk with me and you'll know

[00:00:16] I wasn't satisfied with living on the side

[00:00:24] I started looking around for a possibility

[00:00:32] But listen to my story of what became of me

[00:00:40] I met a businessman

[00:00:43] Who said he got some friends back east

[00:00:48] Said why don't you come along

[00:00:52] Well we could help you atleast

[00:00:56] Make you into a big star

[00:01:00] By playing your guitar

[00:01:04] But the joke was on me

[00:01:08] They left me flat to see

[00:01:13] Going back west

[00:01:15] Yes I know I'll make out alright

[00:01:21] Going back west

[00:01:23] Where my music's playing all night

[00:01:29] Going back west

[00:01:31] Going back west

[00:01:32] I think I'll do alright

[00:01:37] Going back west

[00:01:39] Yes I know I'll make out alright

[00:01:45] Going back west

[00:01:47] Where my music's playing all night

[00:01:53] Going back west

[00:01:55] Going back west

[00:01:57] I think I'll do alright

[00:02:04] Struggling for recognition identity and respect

[00:02:13] I got a lot of promises they told me not to fret

[00:02:20] Said we will stand by you

[00:02:25] If the going gets rough

[00:02:29] But when I started sinking

[00:02:32] They didn't even bluff

[00:02:37] 'Bout a year has come and gone

[00:02:39] 'Bout a year has come and gone

[00:02:41] And left me standing here

[00:02:43] And left me standing here

[00:02:45] Thinking how it could have been

[00:02:49] 'Cause still I ain't nowhere

[00:02:53] They surely took me for a ride

[00:02:57] Trampled on my pride

[00:03:01] But I'll hold my head up high

[00:03:05] Got no more tears to cry

[00:03:09] Going back west

[00:03:12] Yes I know I'll make out alright

[00:03:18] Going back west

[00:03:20] Where my music's playing all night

[00:03:25] Going back west

[00:03:28] Going back west

[00:03:29] I think I'll do alright

[00:03:34] Going back west

[00:03:35] Going back west

[00:03:36] Going back west

[00:03:38] Going back west

[00:03:42] Going back west

[00:03:43] Going back west

[00:03:44] Going back west

[00:03:46] Going back west

[00:03:50] Going back west

[00:03:52] Going back west

[00:03:53] Think I'll do alright

[00:03:58] Going back west

[00:04:00] Going back west

[00:04:01] Yes I know I'll make out alright

[00:04:03] Going back west

[00:04:06] Going back west

[00:04:08] Where my music's playing all night
