(Don Reid - Harold Reid)
They took you out of the the country
They took you out to see you things you wanted to see
They took you out to the places you wanted to go
But they can't take you out of me.
They took you out of your plain dress
They took you out and made you what you wanted to be
They took you out of my Saturdays and Sundays
But they can't take you out of me.
They took you out of our good times
They took you out of the things we used to do
They took you out of my reason for living
And I wonder did they take me out of you.
--- Instrumental ---
They took you out of our hometown
They took you out to give you opportunity
They took you out of the places we were goin'
But they can't take you out of me.
They took you out of our good times
They took you out of the things we used to do
They took you out of my reason for living
And I wonder did they take me out of you.
Oh, I wonder did they take me out of you...
