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

If I Had Any Sense I'd Go Back Home - Irma Thomas/Dr. John
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 theyre cooked up to be
I know every move I made was wrong
If I had any sense Id 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 didnt 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 Id go back home
My baby wrote me said
Baby baby come back to your good mans 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
Theres nothin but my mother
And fathers prayers thats seein me through
I know I stayed away too long
If I had any sense Id go back home
My baby wrote me said
Baby baby Please come back to your good mans 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
Theres nothin but my mother
And fathers prayers thats seein me through
I know I stayed away too long
If I had any sense Id go back home
