Ricky Nelson - It's Late Lyrics
It's Late Ricky Nelson Written by Dorsey Burnette Peak chart position # 9 in 1959 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 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 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 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)
