Junior Walker & The All Stars — Way Back Home vocal

[Verse 1] Oh, there's good 'n bad things about the South, boy Oh, and some leave a bitter taste in my mouth, now Yeah! Like the black man livin' across the track White man were on the other side holdin' him back Way back home, now [Verse 2] Oh, but we won't talk about that 'cause it's understood Every body sees the bad but what about the good Ooh, I'd give anything just to smell that scent Of honeysuckle growin' on a backyard fence Way back home, now 'Oow!' 'Oh heaven scent, y'all!' [Chorus] (Way back home) Yeah, way back home (Way back home) Thinkin' on back home [Verse 2] I'd love to smell the wetness of grass and trees And see ground kissed by honey bees Like way back home, now [Verse 3] Oh, but childhood daysa re dead 'n gone Well, but the memories still linger on Oh, have you ever gone swimmin' in a muddy creek With nothin' on your body from head to feet Way back home, yeah [Verse 4] How you play for the game like hide an seek Yeah! And snake through the weeds overhear the streams Well, I know some kids still play those games But when they play it just ain't the same Like way back home 'Sad to sing it, y'all!' [Chorus] (Way back home) Yeah Way back home, way back home (Way back home) Oh yeah [Bridge] Oh, I really miss those things that have faded away I remember them like it was yesterday Now, way back home [Chorus] (Way back home) (Way back home) Doo-doo, do-do Doo-doo, do-ooo-do When the lord decides to take me away Hey let me rest in the land where I used to play Ah you know I miss that glass and ice cream cup And the days that was part of my growing up Now way back home [Chorus] (Way back home) (Way back home) (Way back home) (Way back home) Doo-doo, do-do Doo-doo, do-ooo-do (Way back home) (Way back home)
