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 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
