Слова и текст песни Boney M — Going Back West
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 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
