Don't Turn Out the Light Robert Earl Keen
Intro:
[D]Scarecrow and a [G]yellow moon
and a [D]roadhouse on the [A7]edge of [D]town.
[D]Hear that midnight [G]rooster crow
well I'll [D]have one more [A7]before I go
but [G]Honey, don't turn out the [D]light
'cause I [A7]think I'm in the [G]mood for love [D]tonight
The night is cool beneath the stars
ridin' home in John's old car
got my head out in the wind
here I am drunked up again
but Honey, don't turn out the light
'cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
Me and John in a pickup truck
bottle of gin and a paper cup
Runnin' wild and livin' hard
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
Instrumental
The moon is high, the sun is down
Honey came out in her night gown
On the porch at a quarter to three
talkin' to the deputy sherrif 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
I said Honey, don't turn out the light
'cause I think i'm in the mood for love tonight
