Take You Home Songtext
von Anthony Hamilton

I gotta take you home
I gotta take you home
′Cause 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 your 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 it's 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

(I gotta take you home) while the doors of the church are wide open
(I gotta take you home) be a part of the family, yeah
('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 (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 we can make it through, let me 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

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

If my mama don't like you
It′s gonna be hard for me to trust you
Say oh (while the doors of the church are wide open)
Let the church say amen again and again
I love you momma
