Junior Walker - Way Back Home Lyrics
Oh, there's good 'n bad thingsAbout the South, boyOh, and some leave a bitter tasteIn my mouth, nowYeah!Like the black man livin' across the trackWhite man were on the other sideHoldin' him backWay back home, nowOh, but we won't talk about that'Cause it's understoodEv'rybody sees the badBut what about the good?Ooh, I'd give anythingJust to smell that scentOf honeysuckle growin'On a backyard fenceWay back home, now'Oow!''Oh Heaven Scent, Ya'All!'<with female chorus>(Way back home)Yeah, way back home(Way back home)Way back home, back homeI'd love to smell the wetnessOf grass and treesAnd see ground kissedBy honey beesLike way back home, nowOh, but childhood daysAre dead 'n goneWell, but the memoriesStill linger onOh, have you ever gone swimmin'In a muddy creekWith nothin' on your bodyFrom head to feet?Way back home, yeahHow much you'd pay for the gameLike hide an seekYeah!And snake through the weedsOverhear the streamsWell, I know some kidsStill play those gamesBut when they playIt just ain't the sameLike way back home'Sad to sing it, ya'all!'YEAH!Way back home, way back home(Way back home)Way backOh, I really miss those thingsThat have faded awayI remember themLike it was yesterdayNow, way back home(Way back ho-ome)(Way back ho-ome)FADES:Doo-doo, do-doDoo-doo, do-ooo-do(Way back ho-ome)(Way back ho-ome).~
