I'm Going Back Home Lyrics - Nina Simone

Rudy Stevenson 

I'm going back home where I was born 

First I planned to stay but I can't live this way 

I'm going back home where I was born 

Try to understand I think this city's grand 

But with all its charme give me the little country farm 

I'm going back home where I was born 

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah now oh yeah 

I tell you all about it I think you ought to know 

Tell you all about it why I wanna go

I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer 

I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air 

Miss friendly faces and the country smiles 

The crickets singing you can hear it for miles 

Miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn 

Yes it all happens where I was born 

Miss the fried chicken colored greens 

Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans 

Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray 

With the drum beating till the break of day 

You can have it you can have it 

You can have it you can have it 

You can have thy town I won't be around 

This here life's too fast but 'll never never last

I'm going back home where I was born 

I got to go home got to go home 

Where the people are real people can feel 

Got to go down got to go down 

Leave here today on my way so long so long 

Going back home going back home 

Got to go home got to go home 

Got to go home got to go home 

Where I where I was born
