Robert Cray - I Can't Go Home Lyrics






I can't go home
Cause I know what I'm gonna find there

I can't go home, no
Cause I know, I know what I'm gonna find there

My neighbor's have told me
My friends have, too
They say, "Young Bob, if you go home"
"Things won't be cool."

"Things are gonna be hard there"
"You can't go home."

I can't go home
Just can't do it

I can't go home, no, no, no, no

A friend told me
That your girl is calling some other man daddy

Ohhhh, oh man, I've dreaded this fateful day
I ought to go home and get my gun
And blow his ass away

They say there's a law about it
I don't care

There's gonna be hard times ahead
If I go home

I can't go home
Cause I know what I'm gonna find there

I can't go home, no, no
It scares me so, and I won't have that no more, no

Why did this thing have to happen again?
And the guy that she's hanging out with
Used to be my friend

And that's so cold
That's the sad part about it

I can't do it
I can't go home, no, no, no

    Robert Cray single-highhandedly got me back into the blues back in the mid-eighties. Great cruising music and great memories. This song in particular helped me get a friend through his wife's infidelity without him catching a case. Young Bob, you will always be the man.

  20. s.... ....

    Best blues song for a long time.........
    Capturing....

  21. c.... j....

    you can't go home, but you can play guitar like jesus...

  22. S.... ....

    This song is the most cold-ass Blues/RnB track in the last 30 years.

  23. j.... ....

    The only thing worse than catching your lady making love with your best friend in your own crib must be prison or death.I suppose that's the point of the song, Ya think?. When it comes to music, in this case, simpler is better. Less is more!. Another great sad song blues ballad by a master of his voice and his instrument!

  24. L.... S....

    @crayhead Yep Bad ass

  25. T.... B....

    fantastic...

  26. t.... ....

    Gonna go home, get my gun, and blow his ass away! I can't go home!
