Lyrics Lynn Anderson – If The Creek Don’t Rise
Text:
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
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 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
