Nina Simone - I'm Going Back Home(1967)

[00:00.48] I'm going back home where I was born
[00:03.02] First I planned to stay but I can't live this way
[00:08.65] I'm going back home where I was born
[00:19.72] Try to understand I think this city's grand
[00:24.54] But with all its charme give me the little country farm
[00:28.73] I'm going back home where I was born
[00:40.86] Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah now oh yeah
[00:48.98] I tell you all about it I think you ought to know
[00:52.14] Tell you all about it why I wanna go
[00:55.87] I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer
[00:59.45] I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air
[01:02.95] Miss friendly faces and the country smiles
[01:07.34] The crickets singing you can hear it for miles
[01:11.14] Miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn
[01:15.33] Yes it all happens where I was born
[01:19.95] Miss the fried chicken colored greens
[01:23.05] Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans
[01:26.39] Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray
[01:30.75] With the drum beating till the break of day
[01:34.15] You can have it you can have it
[01:39.13] You can have it you can have it
[01:40.39] You can have thy town I won't be around
[01:42.87] This here life's too fast but 'll never never last
[01:47.05] I'm going back home where I was born
[01:51.47] I got to go home got to go home
[01:52.95] Where the people are real people can feel
[02:00.04] Got to go down got to go down
[02:01.73] Leave here today on my way so long so long
[02:03.78] Going back home going back home
[02:04.64] Got to go home got to go home
[02:05.06] Got to go home got to go home
[02:05.65] Where I where I was born
[02:43.09]
