If The Creek Don't Rise Lyrics - Lynn Anderson

I been so lonesome I wanna go home ain't been home in ever so long 

Goin' back home where happiness lies if the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

Goin' back home to see my mama agian all of my family and all of my friends 

Wrap myself in family ties if the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

Goin' back home where happiness lies a thousand miles of a black road flies 

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

Tired of chasin' fortune and fame tired of tryin' to make me a name 

No one cares if I live or I die no one cares but my mama and I 

This old world is selfish and cruel dog-eat-dog that's everyone's rule 

These all things ain't money can buy 

So I'm goin' back home where the grass grows high 

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise 

If the Lord is a willing...
