Momma Ain't Home Tonight

(album: Keep On Rockin' - 1998)

She looked like a lawyer's daughter
Fresh out of the Ivy League
Yeah and I look like the devil's prodigal son
When she sat down next to me
Well I told her about my ol' bird dog
She mentioned her pretty friends
I said I'd sure like to meet your family some time
And she just laughed at me and said

She said I wouldn't take you home to Momma
You're a diamond in the rough
There's just to many things about you
That my Momma couldn't learn to love

She said I'm crazy for even talking to you
But there's something about you I like
I wouldn't take you home to Momma
Yeah but Momma ain't home tonight
All my buddies are green with envy
As we headed for the parking lot
Me with that long legged gal on my arm
Just thinking 'bout you know what

She said why don't you leave your ragged old pickup
We'll take my Cadillac
Next morning when I woke up in her big brass bed
She was begging me to hurry back

She said I wouldn't take you home to Momma
You're a diamond in the rough
There's just to many things about you
That my Momma couldn't learn to love

She said you ain't good looking and you ain't real bright
But there's something about you I like
I wouldn't take you home to Momma
Yeah but Momma ain't home tonight

She said I would not take you home to my Momma
Yeah but Momma's out of town tonight
