I’ll Lead You Home Jim Lauderdale (Ft. Ralph Stanley)

Well I've been some places where I shouldn't be
Didn't mean to stray, I've paid so dearly
I'd wake up more lost than the night before
Wishing that I heard the words more clearly

[Chorus]
I'll lead you home
Rise up, it won't be long
A brand new day has come
And I will lead you home

Mother and father waited patiently
They had something left to remind them
Our time is precious here on God's great earth
I hope I'm not too late to find them

[Chorus]
I'll lead you home
Rise up, it won't be long
A brand new day has come
And I will lead you home

After all the waves the storm had crashing in
Now I'm drifting as my life unravels
I miss the loved ones being close to me
I almost hear them singing while I travel
