If I Had Any Sense I'd Go Back Home

(Album: Simply Grand - 2008)

I remember the day I caught the train
I was standing out at the rail road crossing soaking 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 crying, my father had an aching heart
He said, 'Girl, girl, please don't let us part'
My sweetheart stood crying 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 having so much trouble I don't know what to do
There's nothing but my mother and father's prayers that's seeing 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 having so much trouble I don't know what to do
There's nothing but my mother and father's prayers that's seeing me through

I know I stayed away too long
If I had any sense I'd go back home
