I'm Goin' Home

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, la la la la, I'm going home
 Oh, something inside makes me scream
 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 la
 Sha la la la (sha la la la)
 La la la la, I'm going home
 Take me home
 Sha la la la la (sha la la la)
 La 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 (sha la la la)
 La la la la
 I'm going home
 Take me home
 Sha la la la (sha la la la)
 La la la la, I'm going home
 No, 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)
 Sha la la, sha la la la la
 (La 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
 All she wanted was me, believe me
 Now she sings sha la, I can hear you sing...
