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