Back Home |
There’s been a whole lot said about your city living |
They told us that the streets were paved with gold |
And some of us believed 'em, left our home and came looking |
But that was just another story they told |
I got to get back and see my people |
Someday and someway |
My old Uncle Henry don’t believe in them airplanes |
Lord you know you sure been good to me |
Gave me piggy back rides down them dusty highways |
When I came just up to his knees |
I got to get back and see my people |
Someday and someway |
I never thought I’d be lost and searching for a warm friendly smile |
I never thought I’d be running through the city streets like a newborn child |
No, no, no |
I never thought I’d be lost and searching for a warm friendly smile |
I never thought I’d be running through the city streets like a newborn child |
But here I am |
And I |
I got me some people and I know that they love me |
And I know just where to look this time |
Collard greens and cornbread on my Sunday dinner |
And don’t you know that makes me think it’s working out fine |
When I get back to see my people |
Someday and someway |
Someday and someway |
And someday, and someway |
