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

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
