Lyrics If I Had Any Sense I'd Go Back Home - Irma Thomas

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 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

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 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
