Goin' Back to Indiana
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Back to where I started from
Goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come!
I spent my weeks with greener pastures
I still ain't found what I was after
I've got the blues and that is what I sing
I just wanna do my thing yeah!
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'Cause that is where my baby's from yeah!
Ok Tito, you got it!
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come!
Goin' back to Indiana
'Cause that is where my baby's from yeah!
Hollywood you got a lot of pretty things
I saw a lot of movie stars with diamond rings
But I ain't got my baby and I'm feeling wrong
That's why I gotta sing my song yeah
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come!
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'Cause that is where my baby's from yeah!
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming
I'm coming, I'm home yeah yeah
One more time for Roosevelt High
Johnny, Ray, Tex, Scooter and Lorenzo too
Watch T.W. brown do the boogaloo!
Every soul that passes by
This song to you from the Jackson 5
I'm comin' home it's plain to see
I still got Indiana soul in me!
I'm goin' back to Indiana
Indiana here I come!
I'm goin' back to Indiana
'Cause that is where my baby's from
That's where she is, she, yeah, yeah, yeah
