I Believe I'm Gonna Make It

I Believe I'm Gonna Make It - Joe Tex

When I got your letter baby

I was in a foxhole on my knees

Oh yes I was

And your letter brought me so much strength

Tell you what I did baby

Oh you won't believe it

I raised up and got me

Two mo' enemies

Oh yes I did

Listen that's why

I believe that I'm gonna make it

Tell everybody back home

I believe that I'm gonna make it

And baby I'll be home before you can say

Jackie Robinson

Oh yes I will yes I will

Sometimes I wonder

Do you really love me

Then I'll think of something sweet

You once said to me

And the thought makes me feel

So good inside

I raise up and get me

Two mo' enemies

Yes I really

Listen baby

Ooh oh baby

I wished a thousand times

That we had gotten married

Before I left home for Vietnam

But then when I see so many of my buddies

Gettin' shot down all around me

Makes me kinda glad that we waited

Because I don't wanna leave you

At home being a widow no

I know you understand babe

Listen darling

They promised me a furlough

On the fifteenth of next month

And I want you to say a prayer tonight

That my furlough will come through

So I can come home to be with you

And tomorrow oh tomorrow

Go by and tell my mom and daddy

That I love 'em

And for 'em not to worry about me

Listen

'Cause I believe that I'm gonna make it

Tell everybody back home

I believe that I'm gonna make it

And baby I'll be home before you can say
