Joe Tex - I Believe I'm Gonna Make It lyrics

When I got your letter baby

I was in a foxhole on my knees

(Oh yes I was)

And your letter brought me so much strength

Tell you what I did, baby

(Oh, you won't believe it)

I raised up and got me

Two mo' enemies

(Oh yes I did)

Listen, that's why

I believe that I'm gonna make it

(Tell everybody back home)

I believe that I'm gonna make it

And baby I'll be home before you can say

Jackie Robinson

(Oh yes I will, yes I will)

Sometimes I wonder

Do you really love me

Then I'll think of something sweet

You once said to me

And the thought makes me feel

So good inside

I raise up and get me

Two mo' enemies

Listen, baby (ooh, oh baby)Joe Tex - I Believe I'm Gonna Make It - http://motolyrics.com/joe-tex/i-believe-im-gonna-make-it-lyrics.html

I wished a thousand times

That we had gotten married

Before I left home for Vietnam

But then when I see so many of my buddies

Getting' shot down all around me

Makes me kinda glad that we waited

Because I don't wanna leave you

At home being a widow, no

I know you understand, babe

Listen darling

They promised me a furlough on the fifteenth of next month

And I want you to say a prayer tonight

That my furlough will come through

So I can come home to be with you

And tomorrow, oh tomorrow

Go by and tell my mom and daddy

That I love 'em

And for 'em not to worry about me

Listen,

'Cause I believe that I'm gonna make it

Tell everybody back home

I believe that I'm gonna make it

And baby I'll be home before you can say

Batman and Robin
