Get Back Lyrics by Stephen Murphy

A Way Back Home

0

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in a barroom, about a quarter past ten
I order one more whiskey, and hit the road again
I got to get back home into my baby's arms
The one thing I've missed is a loving chance
[Chorus]
Gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, where my baby's waitin' for me
I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, please, Lord, I'm on my knees
[Verse 2]
I've been a rambling boy, and I left my home
I left my darling sweetheart, they're all alone
But then she wrote me a letter and was beggin' please
For me to come back home and to never leave
[Chorus]
Gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, where my baby's waitin' for me
I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, please, Lord, I'm on my knees
[Verse 3]
Well, just like my daddy and his daddy before
I was bound to ramble, I was bound to roam
There's nothin' I could do, it was in my blood
But then she wrote me that letter, it hit me with a thud
[Chorus]
Gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, where my baby's waitin' for me
I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, please, Lord, I'm on my knees
[Verse 4]
I hit the open road, I ain't got much time
I got to get to my baby before the sun does shine
Well I'm burnin' rubber and makin' tracks
And I hope my baby will take me back
[Chorus]
Gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, where my baby's waitin' for me
I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, please, Lord, I'm on my knees
[Outro]
Yeah, I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, where my baby's waitin' for me
I gotta get back, back down to New Orleans
I gotta get back, please, Lord, I'm on my knees
