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 them airplanes 
Lord you know 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 searching for a warm friendly 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 searching for a warm friendly smile 
I never thought 
I'd be running through the city streets like a newborn child 
But here I am 
And I I got me some people and 
I know that they love me 
And I know just where to look this time 
Collard 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
