"Walk You Home" lyrics

"Walk You Home"

You look like your mama
Oh how I love your mama
You look like I wasted most of my life, hittin' on girls that weren't my future wife
But I was impatient
I'm so glad I failed each on I'd find
I gave them affection but I just don't reckon they liked that they all got it at the same time

Something had changed when the Lord Jesus came and he breathed all his life in my bones
No need to chase women to try and quench thirst. I can drink from the fountain alone

You joke like your Dad
Oh how I love your daddy so
I know he was worried when I came around 'cause I've never carried the best name in town
But he was so patient
I'm so glad he talked with me that night
I said "there's no reason for you to believe, but I'm not the same man that I've been most my life"

Something had changed when the Lord Jesus came and he breathed all his life in my bones
No need to chase women to try and quench thirst. I can drink from the fountain alone
But I crashed into you on the way to his house while we both walked the long narrow road
I said "darling I know that I can't save your soul. You mind if I just walk you home?"

I know you love me, and darling you know I love you too
But I only love you because of the one who loved me long before I was knit in a womb

Something had changed when the Lord Jesus came and he breathed all his life in my bones
Now I know that he is all I'll ever need to come fill up my hearts catacombs
But I crashed into you on my way to his house while we both walked the long narrow road
I said "come follow me. I don't have what you need, but I'd love if I could walk you home

I said "I'll take this woman to have and to hold" knowing one day I won't get to hold you no more
There's no way to be sure who he'll welcome in first, but I'd love to walk you to the door
