[Verse 1]
Papa left this morning
With a briefcase in his hand
Mama took the kids to school
Before she went to work
Sister went to Georgia
To get away from the smog
Brother went on an interview
Still trying to get a job
[Chorus]
Hey Lord, oh Lord
I did everything I could do
Hey Lord, oh Lord
Carry me home, don’t be too long
Carry me home, don’t be too long
Carry me home, don’t be too long
[Verse 2]
Some friends of ours got married
Everybody had a ball
They partied till the morning
And still they wanted more
Couple looks so happy
I wonder if they'll change
Nothing ever stays the same
So we have to move alone
[Chorus]
Hey Lord, oh Lord
I did everything I could do
Hey Lord, oh Lord
Carry me home, don’t be too long
Carry me home, don’t be too long
Carry me home, don’t be too long
