Johnny Paycheck I Take It On Home lyrics

Sometimes at the end of the day
Before I head home I make a stop along the way
Have a couple of drinks
Wait for the five o'clock rush to go by

And almost always there's a lady
And it's so hard when she starts coming on
But I back it on up, turn it around
And take it on home

I take it on home
To the 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 a working I don't hang out
I take it on home

Sometimes I've gotta go out of town
And I'll be gone for couple of days
And this buddy of mine

Well, he's a hound in the first degree

And almost always there's the ladies
And it ain't easy boys when you're out and all alone
But I back it on up, turn it around
And take it on home

I take it on home
To the 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 a working, I don't hang out
I take it on home

Yeah, I back it on up, turn it around
And take it on home
