Текст песни Like It Is, Like It Was - James Brown

New York City's alright, but I wanna go home
Let me tell you, I wanna go home
Is it alright if a man need to go home?
I don't believe you understand me, I wanna go home
Let me be proud of where I came from when I go home

I know he wanna go home
I know he wanna go home
Hey-hey, let me go home
Let me go home

I remember Memphis Slim said: "Feelin' lowdown, act like a clown"
I really don't know what to do, what to do
Feelin' so blue, just thinking of you
Didn't think I could do that, did you think?
I wonder just where you could be, you could be
Feelin' so blue, just messing around with the blues
With the blues, with the blues, with the blues, with the blues

With the blues

Ha-ha, you know, let me remind you that the fellas...

We say we're down and out in New York City
We're down and out in New York City

So long, oh, I hate to see you go
So long
