Louis Jordan - If I Had Any Sense, I'd Go Back Home lyrics

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
