Brian Jackson, Gil Scott-Heron - Back Home lyrics

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 piggyback rides down
Them dusty highways
When I came just up to his knees
I got to get back and see my people
A someday and someway hhmmm
I never thought I'd be lost and
Searching for one warm friendly smile
I never thought I'd be running through
Them city streets like a a
Newborn child no no no

Mhmmhmmhhhmm

I never thought I'd be lost and
Searching for one warm friendly smile
I never thought I'd be running
Through the city streets
Like a 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 make me
Think it's working out fine?
When I get back to see my people
Someday and someway and someday and someway
And someday and someway yeah someday
