Story Behind The Song
After losing a baby to a miscarriage, I felt more appreciative of the magic of familiy and marriage to the right person. I came up with the idea of being Taken, and started there. Jo is my nextdoor neighbor and is also married, so together we came up with a tribute to that.

Lyrics
She must have looked at me at least a dozen times
I knew right then I had to walk away
Won?t cross that line cuz I know it ain?t right
My baby wouldn?t understand
There ain?t no maybe, I?m a taken man
I?m a taken man
Take her to a movie, every Tuesday
Take the kids to school; I take out the trash when I can
I?m a taken man
I take a stand when it?s my family
Every day I take a long look at my hand
Cuz one thing I ain?t takin is a chance
I?m a taken man
She blew a kiss when I got up to leave
She said I missed my opportunity
What I miss is my wife, kids and Tennessee
I ran around enough before
I won?t mess up what I worked so hard for
I?m a taken man
I take a back seat to what my girls need
I?ll give anything and everything that I am
I?m a taken man
I take a stand when it?s my family
Every day I take a long look at my hand
Cuz one thing I ain?t takin is a chance
I?m a taken man
I?ve taken almost every turn out on this open road
But I?ll never take for granted the one that always leads me home
I?m a taken man
I take a stand when it?s my family
I?m a taken man
She still takes my breath
I love the place she takes me to
I?m a taken man
