I’m Goin’ Home

Lyrics

Mama, please don't go Won't you stay here for one more day? I've been your boy for so long now There's so much I, I still have to say Sky rips open, and I held my heart in my hand Like a soldier on his very last day Cried myself to sleep that night And I listened as I heard the angels sing, "Sha-la-la" Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la, I'm going home Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la, I'm going home Oh, something inside of me makes me scream, oh How could God take you from a little boy? He'll be alright, he is by my side He's my little boy, he's my pride and joy, sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Sha-la-la-la (I'm going home) Take me home (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Sha-la-la-la (I'm going home) Make it ease on down Summer on the radio When the phone rang and it was Jeanette Said, "Boy, we had to let her go" I begged her no, no, not yet You left six of us to fend for ourselves Guess it's just part of someone's master plan We'll see you laugh 'cause you're my best friend You were the light of the lamb And I smile when the angels sing (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Sha-la-la-la-la-la (I'm going home) No Take me home (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Sha-la-la-la-la-la (I'm going home) Nah, sha-la Hear the angels sing, sha-la (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Oh, they're singing now, sha-la-la, sha-la-la (I'm going home) Sha-la-la-la-la-la, go on and sing for me now (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la (I'm going home) No, no, no, no, mama No, no, mama No, no, no, no, no, no Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Sha-la-la-la-la I wish y'all would hear when I scream Sha-la, sha-la-la-la-la, oh (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) See, all I ever wanted was her and me back when (Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) All she wanted was me, believe me Now she sings, "Sha-la"
