Go Back Home Lyrics by Brandon Victor Dixon

The Scottsboro Boys (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

2010

[HAYWOOD]
Lying all alone, I’m thinkin’
Starin’ at the stars, I wonder
Since I’ve been away, I’m lonely
When I’m gonna go back home?
Walkin’ through the world, things happen
Right before your eyes, things happen
Soon enough your lost and thinkin’
When I’m gonna go back home?
Oh me, oh my, time goes slow
Where’s it gone to?
I don’t know
But maybe times’ll turn
I pray, so maybe someday I’ll get lucky
Someone’s gonna say
“Alright son, take the train and go back home
Hop a freight and go back home”
[EUGENE, spoken]
Hop a freight? I’d walk all the way back to Atlanta if I could! I wouldn’t stop til’ I got there. No more nightmares, guards beatin’ me, teasin’ me. And I’d be home for my birthday too! Now that’d be some present
(singing)
Oh me, oh my, time goes slow
Where’s it gone to?
[ALL]
I don’t know
[HAYWOOD]
But maybe times’ll turn
I pray, so maybe someday I’ll get lucky
Someone’s gonna say
[ALL]
“Alright son, take the train and go back home”
[HAYWOOD]
“Hop a freight and go back home”
