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 gra** grows high If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise If the Lord is a willing...
