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 |
