Don't Turn out the Light
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
Intro:
D G
Scarecrow and a yellow moon
D A7 D
and a roadhouse on the edge of town.
D G
Hear that midnight rooster crow
D A7
well I'll have one more before I go
G D
but Honey, don't turn out the light
A7 G D
'cause I think I'm in the mood for love 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
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/robert-earl-keen-jr/126193.html ]
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
