if the creek don t rise

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...
