J.D. Souther - Home by Dawn lyrics

He said goodbye and just walked right out the door He looked so good he must have practiced it before He said, I got me some business Said it shouldn't take long She cried, oh, you be home by dawn (She must have been crazy) Oh, you be home by dawn 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
