Anthony Hamilton - Take You Home Lyrics

I gotta take you home
I gotta take you home
I gotta take you home
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, well

Come walk with me
Through the red dirt and clover
Past the clothing 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 yo 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 its 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 praying life
Mama knows that you're different
She sees your light

So I gotta take you home
While the doors of the church are wide open
I gotta take you home
Be a part of a 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

(If my mama don't like you)
It's gonna be hard on you
(It's gonna be hard for me to trust you)
But we can make it through
Let me take you oh 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

(And 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 yes men again and again
I love you mom
