Back Home to You
Buck D.D. Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look around I see that time ain't changed
Same old faces, Same old names
All the things we thought we knew
You lied to me and I lied to you
(Now) All this time
You never sympathize
All this time
I can't find my way back inside
What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see (child)
I'm just a touch away baby

Chorus
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where and how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where and how
Show me the road back home, back home
The pain blew in like a hurricane
Stranger in this town bearing your name
Trapped in the silence with my memories
It's cutting me deep and its tellin' me
All this time
You never sympathize
All this time
I can't find my way back inside
Going nowhere and I'm headed there fast and I
don't mean maybe
The light is getting low and my touch is growing cold
Oh just hold me baby
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where and how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where and how
Show me the road back home, back home

What you give is what you get
But you drew the line on me baby
Tears falling free but you can't see (child)
I'm just a touch away baby
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)
Why, where and how
Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)
Tell me where am I now (oh-o)




Why, where and how
Show me the road back home, back home

You lied to me and I lied to you
Both parties were dishonest in the past.


(Now) All this time
Despite the duration of time that has passed...


You never sympathize
...you never showed empathy or understanding.


I can't find my way back inside
I feel disconnected and lost.

But you drew the line on me baby

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Well, I'm back, yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Ho yeah
Oh yeah
Yes I am
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah
Back in now
Well I'm back, I'm back
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Out of the sight
