Going Back West - Jimmy Cliff (吉米·克里夫)[00:00:00]

Written by：Jimmy Cliff[00:00:00]

I was born and raised in the ghetto[00:00:04]

Talk with me and you'll know[00:00:09]

I wasn't satisfied with living on the side[00:00:13]

I started looking around for a possibility[00:00:21]

But listen to my story of what became of me[00:00:29]

I met a businessman[00:00:37]

Who said he got some friends back East[00:00:41]

Said "Why don't you come along [00:00:45]

Well we could help you atleast"[00:00:50]

"Make you into a big star[00:00:54]

By playing your guitar"[00:00:58]

But the joke was on me[00:01:02]

They left me flat to see[00:01:06]

Going back West[00:01:11]

Yes I know I'll make out alright[00:01:13]

Going back West[00:01:19]

Where my music's playing all night[00:01:21]

Going back West[00:01:27]

Think I'll do alright[00:01:30]

Struggling for recognition identity and respect[00:01:36]

I got a lot of promises they told me not to fret[00:01:44]

Said "We will stand by you[00:01:52]

If the going gets rough"[00:01:57]

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

They didn't even bluff[00:02:04]

Going back West[00:02:09]

Yes I know I'll make out alright[00:02:11]

Going back West[00:02:17]

Where my music's playing all night[00:02:20]

Going back West[00:02:25]

I think I'll do alright[00:02:29]

'Bout a year has come and gone[00:02:35]

And left me standing here[00:02:38]

Thinking how it could have been[00:02:43]

'Cause still I ain't nowhere[00:02:46]

They surely took me for a ride[00:02:51]

Trampled on my pride[00:02:55]

But I'll hold my head up high[00:02:59]

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

Going back West[00:03:08]

Yes I know I'll make out alright[00:03:10]

Going back West[00:03:16]

Where my music's playing all night[00:03:18]

Going back West[00:03:23]

I think I'll do alright[00:03:27]

Going back West[00:03:32]

Yes I know I'll make out alright[00:03:34]

Going back West[00:03:39]

Where my music's playing all night[00:03:42]

Going back West[00:03:47]

Think I'll do alright[00:03:51]

Going back West[00:04:19]

Yes I know I'll make out alright[00:04:22]

Going back West[00:04:27]

Where my music's playing all night[00:04:29]

Going back West[00:04:35]

I think I'll do alright[00:04:38]
