There's been a whole lot said about your city living They told us that the streets were paved with gold And some of us believed 'em, left our home and came looking But that was just another story they told I got to get back and see my people Someday and someway My old Uncle Henry don't believe in those airplanes Lord knows you sure been good to me Gave me piggy back rides down them dusty highways When I came just up to his knees I got to get back and see my people Someday and someway I never thought I'd be lost and start searching for warmth and a smile I never thought I'd be running through the city streets like a newborn child No, no, no I never thought I'd be lost and start searching for warmth and a smile I never thought I'd be running through the city streets like a newborn child But here I am And I got some people and I know that they love me And I know just where to look this time Collar greens and cornbread on my Sunday dinner And don't you know that makes me think it's working out fine When I get back to see my people Someday and someway Someday and someway And someday, and someway
