Scottsboro Boys, The movie - Go Back Home lyrics

rate me

HAYWOOD

LYING ALL ALONE, I’M THINKIN’

STARING AT THE STARS, I WONDER

SINCE I BEEN AWAY, I’M LONELY

WHEN I’M GONNA GO BACK HOME

WALKING THROUGH THE WORLD, THINGS HAPPEN

RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, THINGS HAPPEN

SOON ENOUGH YOU’RE LOST, AND THINKIN’

WHEN I’M GONNA GO BACK HOME

OH ME, OH MY TIME GOES SLOW

WHERE’S IT GONE TO? I DON’T KNOW, BUT

MAYBE TIMES WILL TURN, I PRAY SO

MAYBE SOMEDAY I’LL GET LUCKY

SOMEONE’S GONNA SAY “ALL RIGHT SON,

TAKE THE TRAIN AND GO BACK HOME

HOP A FREIGHT AND GO BACK HOME”

EUGENE

Hop a freight! I’d walk all the way back to Atlanta if I could. I wouldn’t stop ‘til I got there. No more nightmares. Guards

beating me. Teasing me. And I’d be home for my birthday, too. Now that would be some present.

OH ME, OH MY TIME GOES SLOW

WHERE’S IT GONE TO? I DON’T KNOW

ALL

I DON’T KNOW, BUT

HAYWOOD

MAYBE TIMES WILL TURN, I PRAY SO

MAYBE SOMEDAY I’LL GET LUCKY

SOMEONE’S GONNA SAY

ALL (Except HAYWOOD)

ALL RIGHT SON,

TAKE THE TRAIN AND GO BACK HOME

HAYWOOD

HOP A FREIGHT AND GO BACK HOME”
