| She looked like a lawyers daughter,
|
| Fresh out of the Ivy League,
|
| Yeah and I look like the devils 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 mornin' when I woke up in her big brass bed,
|
| She was begging me to hurry back,
|
| 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. |
