Take Us Back Lyrics - Livin' On A High Note - Mavis Staples

Sometimes life can get ya 

In a hurry but, uh 

I'm just going to take it slow now 

That don't mean I ain't been working y'all 

I'm working on me, baby 

I'm working on me, darling 

I'm taking some time to see 

The people who keep me going 

Sometimes folk can lead ya 

Down a bad line now 

I'm not saying that I'm not judging now 

I'm just going to tell you what I tell 'em now 

I got friends and I got 

I got family (I got) 

I got help from all 

the people who love me 

I got friends and I got 

I got family (I got) 

I got help from all 

the people who love me

Sometimes people try to 

Take all they can from you but 

They don't call me up for nothing now 

If people ask for Pops he'll tell 'em that 

She gets it from me, baby 

She gets it from me, darling 

Chicago wasn't always easy 

But love made the Windy City breezy 

I got friends and I got 

I got family y'all (I got) 

I got help from all 

the people who love me 

I got friends and I got 

I got family (I got) 

I got help from all the people who love me 

Oh yeah 

Oh yeah 

I know I got love 

I know I've got friends 

I've got people 

(Mavis take us back, Mavis take us back) 

who love me 

(Mavis take us back, Mavis take us back) 

(Mavis take us back, Mavis take us back) 

Oh yeah 

(Mavis take us back, Mavis take us back) 

(Mavis take us back, Mavis take us back)

Baby

Darling 

(Working on me) 

Baby 

(Working on me) 

Darling 

Chicago wasn't always easy 

But love made the Windy City breezy 

I got friends and I got 

I got family (I got) 

I got help from all the 

people who love me 

I got friends and I got 

I got family (I got) 

I got help from all the 

people who love me 

Oh yeah, mm 

Uh huh 

Mmhmm
