Kinfolks

I saw you goin' by, I had to say, "Hello"

And I don't mean to pry, but

Girl, I gotta know, what is your name?

How come I ain't seen you around before?

You know I ain't never had a type

Having a type takes two

But I know what I like

And you're the only one of you

You're something else

And I know we just met, but

I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

To my old friends

To the house in the pines where the road ends

Take you to my hometown

Where I grew up

Where I thought I knew it all before I knew what love was

Gave up on it

But, honey, you got my hopes up

And I'm thinkin' that I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

I wanna take you home

Not just take you home tonight

Get Joanie on the phone

She'll leave us on a light

I wanna see the way you look up under all those stars

You're gonna be the talk

Word's gonna get around

They'll tell you how they thought I'd

Never settle down

Out on the porch

Ain't it funny the way things change?

I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

To my old friends

To the house in the pines where the road ends

Take you to my hometown

Where I grew up

Where I thought I knew it all before I knew what love was

Gave up on it

But, honey, you got my hopes up

And I'm thinkin' that I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

I don't wanna wait around for the right time

I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

To my old friends

To the house in the pines where the road ends

Take you to my hometown

Where I grew up

Where I thought I knew it all before I knew what love was

Gave up on it

But, honey, you got my hopes up

And I'm thinkin' that I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks

And I'm thinkin' that I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks
