Take You Home

I gotta take you home I gotta take you home I gotta take you home I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, well Come walk with me Through the red dirt and clover Past the clothes line Smell the food on the stove Can't just slide on through Let mama lay eyes on you She ain't lookin' at your outer appearance She starin' at yo soul I gotta take you home While the doors of the church are wide open I gotta take you home Come join the family 'Cause I gotta take you home While the doors of the church are wide open I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman And if my mama don't like you (If my mama don't like you) Well it's gonna be hard on you (It's gonna be hard for me to trust you) Said its gonna be hard, oh lord While the doors of the church are wide open I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman Now we're here at the table Watch my cousins cut up The last one didn't make it Said she wasn't good enough With her unkept children No sign of prayer life Mama knows that you're different She sees your light So I gotta take you home While the doors of the church are wide open I gotta take you home Be a part of a family 'Cause I gotta take you home While the doors of the church are wide open I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman If my mama don't like you Then it's gonna be hard on you (It's gonna be hard for me to trust you) But we can make it through Let me take you oh home While the doors of the church are wide open I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman (I gotta take you home) While the doors of the church are wide open (I gotta take you home) Oh, oh, oh be around my family ('Cause I gotta take you home) I gotta take you home to mama and get a good look ya I got a friend, oh what a friend And she's my woman Say oh (while the doors of the church are wide open) Let the church say yes men again and again I love you mom
