Lyrics But I Can't Get Back - Bobbie Gentry

Won′t you look down on me, Lord?
You know you've always been my friend
I wonder can You see it clear
To show the way?
′Cause sometime I get to feelin'
Like I want to be headin' home
And hide my troubled mind and soul
In yesterday
Sometime I get to prayin′
For a country thunderstorm
To fall down all around
And ease my heavy load
Oh, sweet cleansin′ rain
Won't you wash my spirit clean
And soothe that traveled
Dusty gravel road?
That leads me home
That leads me home
That leads me home
Sometime I get to hurtin′
For an old familiar face
A friend I've lost somewhere
Along the lonely way
And sometime I get to feelin′
Like I want to be headin' home
Sometime I get to feelin′
Like I feel today
And I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
But I can't get back
Won't you look down on me, Lord?
You know you′ve always been my friend
I wonder can You see it clear
To show the way?
′Cause sometime I get to feelin'
Like I want to be headin′ home
Sometimes I get to feelin'
Like today
