Papa left the house this morning with a briefcase in his hands
Mama took the kids to school before she went to work
My sister went to Georgia to get away from the smog
My brother went on an interview, still trying to get a job

Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life that everybody goes through
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Hey Lord, oh Lord

Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)

Carry me home, don't be too long
Carry me home

Friend of ours got married, everybody had a ball
They partied till the morning and they still wanted more
Couple look so happy, I wonder if they'll change
Things never stay the same so let's move along

Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life that everybody goes through
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Hey Lord, oh Lord

Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
(REPEAT TO FADE)
