Don't Turn Out the Light

(Bob McDill)



A scarecrow and yellow moon and road house on the edge of town

Hear that midnight rooster crow well I have one more before I go

But honey don't turn out the light

'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.



The night is cool beneath the stars I'm ridin' home in John's old car

Got my head out in the wind here I am drunk up again

But honey don't turn out the light

'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



Me and John in a pickup truck a bottle of gin and a paper cup

Runnin' wild and livin' hard and I passed out in our front yard

But honey don't turn out the light

'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.



The moon is high the sun is down honey came out in her old night gown

On a porch at a quarter o'three talkin' to the deputy sheriff and me

But honey don't turn out the light

'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.



I said honey don't turn out the light

'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight...
