Ain't Going Back - Lickboss

I was born and raised in the ghetto Talk with me and you'll know I wasn't satisfied with living on the side I started looking around for a possibility But listen to my story, of what became of me I met a businessman Who said he got some friends back East Said, "Why don't you come along? Well we could help you atleast" "Make you into a big star By playing your guitar" But the joke was on me They left me flat to see Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) Think I'll do alright Struggling 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 going gets rough" But when I started sinking They didn't even bluff Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright 'Bout a year has come and gone And left 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'll hold my head up high Got no more tears to cry Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) Think, I'll do alright Going back West (Going back West) Yes I know, I'll make out alright Going back West (Going back West) Where my music's playing all night Going back West (Going back West) I think, I'll do alright

I'm just a fool, no disguise I still get hurt same old pride But growing older, I've realized There's not a place in my life tonight I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged Shakin' the blues every night Been all alone, no surprise Don't you forget me, I'm so blind I'm coming back one more time tonight I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged If these streets were empty With nothing to see You could take me from this town Oh, but you won't take this town out of me Too many years can't forget So many dreams ain't done yet An' all of these memories still the same I'm going home and I'll remain unchanged I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged I ain't gonna leave this town no more I'm sorry for the times that I did before I'm going back to where my heart came from I ain't gonna leave this town again I'm sorry for the things I did but then I didn't realize where I belonged

I think I'm going back To the thing I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to All those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games to only pass the time No more electric trains no more trees to climb Thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can play the game of life to win I can recall the time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend And now I think I've got a lot more than Just my toys to lend Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide And everyday can be my magic paradise I can play hide and seek with my fears And live my days instead of counting my years Let everyone debate the true reality I'd rather see my world the way it used to be A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back I'm going back Not just sitting, walking away Yes, I'm going back Going back to my youth Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back I'm going back
