James Brown - The Payback lyrics

Driftin' along with the wind, telling yourself you can't win

It's over and now we begin, oh yeah we are on the way

Light shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't cease

Yeah now we are finally released, oh yeah we're on the way.

I used to think that I was doin' all right, but now I know that I was just hanging on

I used to wake up in the dead of night, and see the road that I was travellin' on.

Only one woman one man, just doing the best that we can

There's so much we don't understand, oh yeah but we're on the way

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah

I used to think that I was doin' all right, but now I know that I was just hanging on

I used to wake up in the dead of night, and see the road that I was travellin' on.

Only one woman one man, just doing the best that we can

There's so much we don't understand, oh yeah but we're on the way

Light shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't cease

Yeah now we are finally released, oh yeah we're on the way.
