Lyrics - Going Back West by Boney M

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 alongwellwe can help you at least.
So make you into a big star by playing your guitar.
But the joke was on methey leff me flatyou see.
Goin' back
West - yes
I know
I'll make it alright.
Goin' back
West - where my music's playing a
U. night.
Goin' back
West -
I think
I do alright.
Goin' back
West - yes
I know
I'll make it alright. . . .
Strugglin' for recognitionidentity 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 gonethey leff me standing here
Thinking how it could have been'cause still
I ain't nowhere.
They surely took me for a ridetrampled on my pride
But
I hold my head up highgot 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.
