Just a phase in life that everybody goes through Papa left the house this morning With a briefcase in his hands Mama took the kids school Before she went to work My sister went to Georgia To get away from the smog My brother on an interview Still trying to get a job Hello oh Lord I did everything I can do Just a phase in life that everybody goes through Hello oh Lord I did everything I can do Hello oh Lord Carry Me Home Don t be too long Went you church sunday Set up on the front row Got and call me ask me why What was wrong tears where Falling running down my face Like a little baby ball I couldn't save the world 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 Couple look so happy Wonder live without change Things never stay the same So let's move along And Lord I did everything that can do Just friends in the light That everybody goes through And oh Lord I did everything that can do And oh Lord Carry me home Friend of ours got married Everybody had a ball They partied till the morning And they still wanted more Things never stay the same So let's move along Hello oh Lord I did everything I can do Just a phase in life that everybody goes through Hello oh Lord I did everything I can do Hello oh Lord Carry Me Home Don t be too long Carry Me Home
