Home By Dawn
He said goodbye and just Dwalked right out the door
He looked so good he must have practiced it beforeG  
He said, DI got me some Gbusiness
DSaid it shouldn't take Glong
She cried, Coh, Gyou be home by Ddawn
(She must have been crazy) COh, Gyou be home by Ddawn
He started shooting when times got lean and hard
He didn't expect to be runnin' through a wrecking yard
She was home with the lights on,
Every shade was drawn
She cried oh, bring him home by dawn
(The boy's in trouble now) Oh, you be home by dawn!
He said goodbye and just walked right out the door
She said last time honey, you've done it too much before
She even said, you can take it or leave it so naturally he's gone
She cried oh, be home by dawn
(One too many times) Oh she said be home by dawn
Who did she think I was to be home by dawn
No, no, no, I don't know how to be home by dawn
