Lyrics for Going Back West by Jimmy Cliff
I was born and raised in the ghettoTalk with me and you’ll knowI wasn’t satisfied with living on the sideI started looking around for a possibilityBut listen to my story, of what became of me
I met a businessmanWho said he got some friends back EastSaid, “Why don’t you come along?Well we could help you at least”“Make you into a big starBy playing your guitar”But the joke was on meThey left me flat to see
Going back West(Going back West)Yes I know, I’ll make out alrightGoing back West(Going back West)Where my music’s playing all nightGoing back West(Going back West)Think I’ll do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and respectI got a lot of promises, they told me not to fretSaid, “We will stand by youIf the going gets rough”But when I started sinkingThey didn’t even bluff
Going back West(Going back West)Yes I know, I’ll make out alrightGoing back West(Going back West)Where my music’s playing all nightGoing back West(Going back West)I think, I’ll do alright
‘Bout a year has come and goneAnd left me standing hereThinking how it could have been‘Cause still I ain’t nowhere
They surely took me for a rideTrampled on my prideBut I’ll hold my head up highGot no more tears to cry
Going back West(Going back West)Yes I know, I’ll make out alrightGoing back West(Going back West)Where my music’s playing all nightGoing back West(Going back West)I think, I’ll do alright
Going back West(Going back West)Yes I know I’ll make out alrightGoing back West(Going back West)Where my music’s playing all nightGoing back West(Going back West)Think, I’ll do alright
Going back West(Going back West)Yes I know, I’ll make out alrightGoing back West(Going back West)Where my music’s playing all nightGoing back West(Going back West)I think, I’ll do alright
