Could Just Go Home

Well I've grew on into my teens and I guess I thought I was a real hard stuff Goin' into town hangin' around bars and actin' pretty tough Well I'm looking out at a different set of bars now And that little window don't let it much light You see I got roarin' drinkin' mad one night and I killed the man in a fight I got a letter from back home the other day Saying dad had a stroke and he ain't doin' too good Well if I had done right I'd be there now to help him and God you know I would And I'd pay him back for all the years of love that he gave me And I'd be a better man the way I was taught to be Oh Lord if I could just go home
