lirik lagu the limeliters - i'm goin' back
[spoken intro]
i’m going back
[verse 1]
i’m goin’ back to where i come from
where the honeysuckles smell so sweet it dern near makes you sick
i used to think my life was humdrum
but i found i learned a lesson that is bound to stick
there ain’t no use in my pretendin’
cause this city sure ain’t no place for a guy like me to end and
i’m goin’ back to where i come from
where the mockingbird is singin’ in the lilac bush
[verse 2]
i used to go down to the station
every evening just to watch that boomin’ train come rollin’ in
and then onе night that great temptation
got the bеst of me and led me to a life of sin
i took my hat and fourteen dollars
and i went to all the trouble of that life has always follows
when you’re rich and huntin’ romance
well my huntin’ days are over i can tell you that
[verse 3]
i met a gal in kansas city
she winked at me and asked me if i’d like to step around
and i said yup that’s what i’m here for
so she said she’d take me to the hottest spots in town
but there were things she had to fix up
so she took my fourteen dollars but there must have been a mix up
she’s been gone since thursday evening
and i got a hunch i’ll never see that gal no more
[verse 4]
when i grow up and have a grandson
well i’ll tell him ’bout my romance and then watch his eyes bug out
but chances are he won’t believe me
and he’ll do the same dern thing when he grows up no doubt
but he can’t say i didn’t warn him
what woulda happened when he meets up with them city girls go lurin’ him
i’m goin’ back to where i come from
where the mockingbird is singin’ in the lilac bush
