I TAKE IT ON HOME

Now sometimes at the end of the day
'Fore 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 comin' on
But I back it on up (Back it on up)
Turn it around (Turn it around) 
And take it on home (Yes, I take it on home)

And sometimes I gotta go out o' 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 when you're out and alone
But I back it on up (Back it on up)
Turn it around (Turn it around) 
And take it on home (Yes, I 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
So when I ain't workin' (When I ain't workin')
No I don't hang out, I take it on home (Yes, I take it on home)
I back it on up (Back it on up)
Turn it around (Turn it around) 
And take it on home (Yes, I take it on home)
