Lyrics
Goin? Back Johnny Maddox (Copyright 2001)
Goin? back I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Try to find my life
When I pull in again, see if
She?s still there
Waiting for me with a smile
I?ll know it?s true.
(break)
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back where I belong
Ten long years ago, I left her
All alone, my friends said
Don?t go. You don?t know.
(break)
Goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
I?m goin? back, I?m goin? back
Back to Key West
I?m goin? back, I?m goin? back
My old girl still there
See her Papa first and her Mama,
too. Then I?ll ask her to be mine.
She has my child.
