Baby By Tonight

[Verse 1]
Asphalt
Fast walk
One foot down in front of the other
Slow as a mother but I just gotta keep on
'til I get home

[Chorus]
Truck broke down I just left it behind
I don't care I'll get to that some other time
Right now there's only one thing on my mind
Somehow someway I gotta get to baby by tonight

[Verse 2]
Rain drops
Can't stop
Me from getting a little bit closer
I'm a little bit colder but hopefully I won't be for long
Damn this wind is strong

[Chorus]
Started out raining kittens and puppies
Just my luck it's turning into cats and dogs
But I'm gonna hold her in my arms again
Even if I have to swim to baby by tonight

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Porch light
In sight
In my mind I see her face it's like an oasis
A lifeline for a diamond lost out on the sand

[Chorus]
Just when I can't stand a [?] more
She opens the door at [?]
I shake my head and smile
Babe I'm a little bit late and I've been through a lot
But it's okay now that I've got to baby by tonight

Yeah I'm a little bit late and I've been through a lot
But it's okay now that I've got to baby by tonight
