I Take It on Home

(Kenny O'Dell)



Now sometimes at the end of the day

Before I head home I make a stop along the way

Have a couple of drinks and wait for the five o'clock rush to go by

And almost always there's a lady

Oh, and it's so hard when she starts coming on

But I back it on up, turn it around and take it on home.



And sometimes I've gotta go out of town and I'll be gone for a couple of days

And this buddy of mine let me tell you he's a hound in the first degree

And almost always there's the ladies

Lord and it ain't easy boys when you're out and all alone

But I back it on up, turn it around and take it on home.



I take it on home to my woman who sticks by me

'Cause I believe she'd do the same if she was me

And I would not know where to turn to, Lord, if she was gone no I wouldn't

And when I ain't a workin' no I don't hang out, I take it on home

I back it on up, turn it around and take it on home...
