Carry Me Home

Papa left the house this morning With a briefcase in his hand Mama took the kids to school Before she went to work My sister went to Georgia To get away from the smog My brother went on an interview Still trying to get a job And Lord, oh Lord I did everything I could do It’s just a phase in life That everybody goes through And Lord, oh Lord I did everything I could do And Lord, oh Lord A friend of ours got married Everybody had a ball They partied 'til the morning And they still wanted more The couple looked so happy I wonder if they'll change? Things never stay the same So let’s move along And Lord, oh Lord I did everything I could do It’s just a phase in life That everybody goes through And Lord, oh Lord I did everything I could do And Lord, oh Lord Carry me home Don’t be too long Ooh, I did everything I could do
