If I Had Any Sense I'd Go Back Home

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 prideI’m havin’ so much trouble I don’t know what to doThere’s nothin’ but my mother and father’s prayers that’s seein’ me throughI know I stayed away too longIf I had any sense I’d go back homeMy 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
