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
