Ricky Nelson Lyrics
"It's Late"

It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long

Too bad (too bad)
We should a checked our time
Can't phone (can't phone)
We done spent every 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 could a left home at a quarter to nine

Would a 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 (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 could a left home at a quarter to nine

Would a 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)
