Eddie Mugavero: music
I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO MEET MY MAMA
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Ron Wallace)
This is one of the few story songs I've ever written. I think it's kinda sweet.
I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO MEET MY MAMA
ON A PLANE TO DALLAS FOR THE WEEKEND
I SAT BESIDE THE SWEETEST LADY I HAD EVER SEEN
WE SHARED SOME TOASTED ALMONDS WHILE WE CHATTED
WE LAUGHED AND JOKED AND TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS NERVOUS ABOUT FLYING
I TOLD HER NOT TO WORRY SHE’D BE SAFE THERE BY MY SIDE
SHE ASKED WHERE I WAS FROM AND WAS I MARRIED
ONE THING I CAN SAY SHE WASN’T SHY
SHE SAID DALLAS WAS REAL NICE BUT IT GETS LONELY
SINCE THE ONLY MAN SHE LOVED WENT AWAY ONE NIGHT
AND COMING HOME JUST ISN’T QUITE THE SAME NOW
SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SHE BEGAN TO CRY
I HELPED HER WITH HER BAG AS WE LANDED
AND ASKED HER WHO WAS MEETING HER AND WALKED HER TO THE GATE
SHE ASKED IF I HAD DINNER PLANS THAT EVENING
AND SOMETHING TOLD ME I’D JUST MADE A DATE
SHE SAID I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO MEET MY MAMA
I’VE GOT A FEELING MAMA WOULD APPROVE
I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO MEET MY MAMA
SINCE GOD TOOK DAD AWAY SOMEHOW I KNEW
HE’D MAKE SURE WE’D MEET SOMEONE LIKE YOU
FOR A TEN YEAR OLD THAT GAL WAS QUITE A LADY
AND WHEN I SAW HER MAMA I KNEW WHAT WE’D ALL FOUND
NOW THE THREE OF US ARE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY
AND SINCE THAT FLIGHT I HAVEN’T TOUCHED THE GROUND
