Taking You Home Lyrics


I had a good life
Before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my nameStill there was sorrow and emptiness
Till you made me glad
Oh, in this love
I found strength never knew I hadAnd this love is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand love
I'm taking you home, taking you homeThere were days, lonely days
When the world wouldn't throw me a crumb
No no, but I kept on believing
That this day would comeAnd this love is like nothing I have ever known
No no baby, take my hand love
I'm taking you home, I'm taking you homeWhere we can be with the ones
Who really care
Home, where we can grow together
Keep you in my heart foreverOh, and this love is like nothing I have ever known
Oh, no no baby, take my hand love

I'm taking you homeOh, this love is like nothing I have ever known
No no baby, take my hand
Taking you home, I'm taking you home, yes I amTaking you home
Taking you home
Taking you home
Taking you home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
