Ray Charles - Then We'll Be Home Lyrics

Packed my bags im going away
I don't know where im going
Things are tough they awfully rough
but still im going
i got no rest i did my best and
oh im so tired
the pay was low the work was slow
and i got fired (dammit)
one day soon im gonna make a million
dollars of my own
and im comin home
"you better believe it"
when i get this million dollars of my own
whoa oh-o
i hurt my maw my paw said son
why you leaving
well if i stay within my heart
ill be grieving "i told him that"
i had to leave my girl behind
she was so hurt inside
and as i left I kissed her on the cheek
then i wiped her eyes lawd have mercy
"you just let me get my hands on this million"
dollars of my own
and im coming home to you mama

"if i can just uh, find a million huh - huh" dollars of my own im coming on whoa o ohhn

(orchestra)

I packed my bags I'm going away
I don't know where I'm going
things are tough they awfully rough
yet im going "and y'all cant stop me"
i got no rest did my best
and im so tired
the pay was low the work was slow
and i got fired oh yes i did
but one day soon I'll make a million
dollars of my own yeah and ill be home
"dont worry about that"
"and i just might find a lady friend
with a million, huh"
