Goin' Back to Alabama
LIONEL B. JR. RICHIE
Going back to Alabama
Now that I've learned the thing too
Life with me ain't been so easy
But I've got some living yet to do.
'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, dust himself off
And start all over again, my friend.
Some days I didn't wanna wake up in the morning
My family and friends were all down on me
I tried to tell ‘em where I was going
But they never saw the man I saw in me.
Some folks called me a dreamer
Other folks left and called me a fool
All I ever wanted to be was a winner
'Cause I know a winner can never lose.
'Cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up, dust himself off
And start all over again, my friend...
