Joe Tex - I Believe I'm Gonna Make It lyrics

rate me

When I got your letter baby<br />

I was in a foxhole on my knees<br />

(Oh yes I was)<br />

And your letter brought me so much strength<br />

Tell you what I did, baby<br />

(Oh, you won't believe it)<br />

I raised up and got me<br />

Two mo' enemies<br />

(Oh yes I did)<br />

<br />

Listen, that's why<br />

I believe that I'm gonna make it<br />

(Tell everybody back home)<br />

I believe that I'm gonna make it<br />

And baby I'll be home before you can say<br />

Jackie Robinson<br />

(Oh yes I will, yes I will)<br />

<br />

Sometimes I wonder<br />

Do you really love me<br />

Then I'll think of something sweet<br />

You once said to me<br />

And the thought makes me feel<br />

So good inside<br />

I raise up and get me<br />

Two mo' enemies<br />

<br />

Listen, baby (ooh, oh baby)<br />

I wished a thousand times<br />

That we had gotten married<br />

Before I left home for Vietnam<br />

But then when I see so many of my buddies<br />

Getting' shot down all around me<br />

Makes me kinda glad that we waited<br />

Because I don't wanna leave you<br />

At home being a widow, no<br />

I know you understand, babe<br />

<br />

Listen darling<br />

They promised me a furlough on the fifteenth of next month<br />

And I want you to say a prayer tonight<br />

That my furlough will come through<br />

So I can come home to be with you<br />

And tomorrow, oh tomorrow<br />

Go by and tell my mom and daddy<br />

That I love 'em<br />

And for 'em not to worry about me<br />

<br />

Listen, <br />

'Cause I believe that I'm gonna make it<br />

Tell everybody back home<br />

I believe that I'm gonna make it<br />

And baby I'll be home before you can say<br />
