If I Had Any Sense I`d Go Back Home Lyrics

I remember the day I caught the train

I was standin' out at the rail road crossing soakin' wet with rain

Now I realized fortune and fame is not for me

And all those pretty stories ain't what they're cooked up to be



I know every move I made was wrong

If I had any sense I'd go back home



Yeah, my mother stood cryin', my father had an achin' heart

He said, “Girl, girl, please don't let us part�

My sweetheart stood cryin' and I cried a little bit too

But I didn't have the will power to stop, I had to do what I had to do



Now I realize every move I made was wrong

If I had any sense I'd go back home



My baby wrote me said

“Baby, baby, come back to your good man's side"

But I can't go back now, I got too much pride

I'm havin' so much trouble I don't know what to do

There's nothin' but my mother and father's prayers that's seein' me through



I know I stayed away too long

If I had any sense I'd go back home



My baby wrote me said

“Baby, baby, Please come back to your good man's side"

But I can't go back now, I got too much pride

I'm havin' so much trouble I don't know what to do

There's nothin' but my mother and father's prayers that's seein' me through



I know I stayed away too long

If I had any sense I'd go back home
