Marilyn Martin - When I Get Home lyrics

Nineteen miles out of New Orleans Red hot sun going down on me Got some old friends I've been dying to see Oh, for so long I was born in a southern town Couldn't wait to find my way out But the ones I love just can't be found Oh, when I'm gone Oh no, when I cry for something simple Gotta find my way home I hope it'll be like I remember when I, When I get home I used to love that old front porch swing Mama closed her eyes and begin to sing She'd sing 'further along we'll understand' 'Oh by and by' All it took back then to raise a smile Was penny candy and a royal crown But those good old days are long gone now I'm on my own Oh no, when I cry for something simple Gotta find my way home I hope it'll be like I remember when I, When I get home Eleven miles out of New Orleans And I can't wait to get out of these jeans I'm gonna get undressed and wash this tired soul clean In the tears coming down Oh no, when I cry for something simple Gotta find my way home I hope it'll be like I remember when I, When I get home Oh, when I get home to you baby Oh, when I get home
