if i had any sense i'd go back home
I remember the day, I caught the train I was standing out at the railroad crossing soaking wet with rain Now I realize fortune and fame is not for me And all them pretty stories ain't what they cooked up to be I know every move I made was wrong, if I had any sense I'd go back home  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 to 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  [Repeat: x2] My baby wrote me said-, baby, baby come back to your good mans side But I cant go back now I got too much pride I'm having so much trouble I don't know what to do Theres nothing but my mother and fathers prayers thats seeing me through I know I stayed away too long, if I had any sense I'd go back home
