Lyrics Ricky Nelson – It’s Late
Text:
It’s late (it’s late)
We gotta get on home
It’s late (it’s late)
We’ve been gone too long
We shoulda checked our time
Can’t phone (can’t phone)
We done spent ev’ry dime
It’s late (it’s late)
We’re ’bout to run outta gas
It’s late (it’s late)
We gotta get home fast
Can’t speed (can’t speed)
We’re in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock
Why can’t it be wrong
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won’t be our last date
Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see
Can’t be (can’t be)
Looks like the sun to me
It’s late (it’s late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he’s gonna be mad
It’s late (it’s late)
We gotta get on home
We’ve been gone too long
It’s late (it’s late)
We’re ’bout to run outta gas
It’s late (it’s late)
We gotta get home fast
Can’t speed (can’t speed)
We’re in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock
Why can’t it be wrong
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won’t be our last date
Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see
Can’t be (can’t be)
Looks like the sun to me
It’s late (it’s late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he’s gonna be mad
It’s late (it’s late)
We gotta get on home
It’s late (it’s late)
We’ve been gone too long
(It’s late)
