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
