If the Creeks Don't Rise Lyrics

(Liz 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 again
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 fliesLynn Anderson - If the Creeks Don't Rise - http://motolyrics.com/lynn-anderson/if-the-creeks-dont-rise-lyrics.html
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...
