《Going Back West》歌词

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

[00:00:00] Written by：Jimmy Cliff

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:37] I met a businessman

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:11] Going back West

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

[00:01:19] Going back West

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

[00:01:27] Going back West

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:09] Going back West

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

[00:02:17] Going back West

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

[00:02:25] Going back West

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:55] Trampled on my pride

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

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

[00:03:08] Going back West

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

[00:03:16] Going back West

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

[00:03:23] Going back West

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

[00:03:32] Going back West

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

[00:03:39] Going back West

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

[00:03:47] Going back West

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

[00:04:19] Going back West

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

[00:04:27] Going back West

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

[00:04:35] Going back West

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