I Take It On Home

(album: Behind Closed Doors - 1973)

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 five o'clock rush to go by

And almost always there's a lady
Oh, and it's so hard when 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 when they're 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
