Sometimes at the end of the day Before I head home, I make a stop along the way A couple of drinks, wait for the 5 o'clock rush to go by And almost always there's a lady Oh, and it's so hard, she starts coming on I back it on up, turn it around and take it on home Sometimes I've gotta go out of town I'll be gone for a couple of days And this buddy of mine he's a hound in the first degree And almost always there's the ladies And it ain't easy there out and alone But I back it on up, turn it around, take it on home I take it on home to a woman who sticks by me 'Cause I believe she'd do the same if she was me And I wouldn't know where to turn to if she was gone So when I ain't working, I don't hang out I take it on home I back it on up, turn it around and take it on home

When my body's tired and my mind is worn I'm lost like a child in a delta storm And I think it's time To take it on home Hain't about thread, and a needle an' a hole Coming undone like a frayed out rope And I think it's time To take it on home Back to the arms of the woman I love So shy an angel with the healin' touch Sweet hallelujah from heaven above Strength to my bones Back to the place where I've been alive Put a little peace in this heart of mine Been long gone, and I'm thinkin' it's time To take it on, take it on Take it on home There's a spot beneath the magnolia tree That's where I hear the wind just talkin' to me And I'm thinkin' it's time To take it on home A little white house down a gravel road Where the world is easy and the days are slow And I'm thinkin' it's time To take it on home Back to the arms of the woman I love So shy an angel with the healin' touch Sweet hallelujah from heaven above Strength to my bones Back to the place where I've been alive Put a little peace in this heart of mine Been long gone, and I'm thinkin' it's time To take it on, take it on Take it on home Oh-oh, take it on, take it on Take it on home When my body's tired and my mind is worn Lost like a child in a delta storm And I'm thinkin' it's time Back to the arms of the women I've loved So shy an angel with the healin' touch Sweet hallelujah from heaven above Strength to my bones Back to the place where I've been alive Put a little peace in this heart of mine Been long gone, and I'm thinkin'it's time To take it on, take it on Take it on home Oh-oh, take it on, take it on Take it on home Ooh yeah, take it on, take it on Take it on home Take it on home Take it on home
