When my body's tired and my mind is worn
I'm lost like a child in a delta storm
And I think it's time
To take it on home
Hain't about thread, and a needle an' a hole
Coming undone like a frayed out rope
And I think it's time
To take it on home
Back to the arms of the woman I love
So shy an angel with the healin' touch
Sweet hallelujah from heaven above
Strength to my bones
Back to the place where I've been alive
Put a little peace in this heart of mine
Been long gone, and I'm thinkin' it's time
To take it on, take it on
Take it on home
There's a spot beneath the magnolia tree
That's where I hear the wind just talkin' to me
And I'm thinkin' it's time
To take it on home
A little white house down a gravel road
Where the world is easy and the days are slow
And I'm thinkin' it's time
To take it on home
Back to the arms of the woman I love
So shy an angel with the healin' touch
Sweet hallelujah from heaven above
Strength to my bones
Back to the place where I've been alive
Put a little peace in this heart of mine
Been long gone, and I'm thinkin' it's time
To take it on, take it on
Take it on home
Oh-oh, take it on, take it on
Take it on home
