Cabin Down Below

Tom Petty · Wildflowers [1994]

Come on go with me, babe

Come on go with me, girl

Baby, let's go

To the cabin down below



I got a radio

Put it on soft and low

Baby, let's go

To the cabin down below



Well, I've had my eye on you

For a long, long time

I'm watching everything you do

Baby, you're gonna be mine



Come on go with me, babe

Come on go with me, girl

Baby, let's go

To the cabin down below



Time's been moving slow

Since we both got here

Come on slide a little closer

Let me whisper in your ear



Well I got a radio

Turn it on soft and low

Baby, let's go

To the cabin down below



Oh, baby, let's go

To the cabin down below

Baby, let's love

In the cabin down below
