1. Sometimes at the end of the day... before I head home, I make a stop along the way

2. Sometimes I gotta go out of town... I'll be gone for a couple of days

Have a couple of drinks, wait for the five o'clock rush to go by

And this buddy of mine, he's a hound in the first de - gree

And almost always, there's a lady... and it's so hard when she starts comin' on

And almost always, there're some ladies, and it ain't easy when you're out and a - lone

But I back it on up, turn it a - round, and take it on home

But I back it on up, turn it a - round, and take it on home

END: I take it on home to the woman who sticks by me

'Cause I believe she'd do the same if she were me

And I wouldn't know where to turn to if she were gone

So when I ain't workin', I don't hang out, I take it on home

I back it on up, turn it a - round, and take it on home.
