Bobbie Gentry
But I Can’t Get Back
[Verse 1]
Won't You look down on me, Lord? You know You've always been my friend
I wonder can You see it clear to show the way?
'Cause sometime I get to feelin' like I want to be headin' home
And hide my troubled mind and soul in yesterday

[Verse 2]
Sometime I get to prayin' for a country thunderstorm
To fall down all around and ease my heavy load
Oh, sweet cleansin' rain won't you wash my spirit clean
And soothe that traveled dusty gravel road

[Chorus]
That leads me home
That leads me home
That leads me home?

[Verse 3]
Sometime I get to hurtin' for an old familiar face
A friend I've lost somewhere along the way
And sometime I get to feelin' like I want to be headin' home
Sometime I get to feelin' like I feel today

[Chorus]
And I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
But I can't get back
[Verse 4]
Won't You look down on me, Lord? You know You've always been my friend
I wonder can You see it clear to show the way?
'Cause sometime I get to feelin' like I want to be headin' home
Sometimes I get to feelin' like today
