Lyrics:

Written by Dorsey Burnette. It's late We got to get on home It's late We been gone to long Too bad We should have checked the time Can't phone We done spent every dime It's late We're 'bout to run out of gas It's late We got to get home fast Can't speed We're in a slow down zone Baby, look at that clock Why can't it be wrong Could've left home at a quarter to nine Could've had fun in plenty of time We got started just a little bit late I hope this won't be our last date Look up Is that the moon we see Can't be Looks like the sun to me It's late I hate to face your dad Too bad I know he's gonna be mad It's late We got to get on home It's late We been gone to long
