By Now Lyrics

Window open wide
Blowing throught the north
No radar gun in sight
Moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Is that you MaryAnn
I almost drove right by you
Can I give you a hand
Is there somewhere I can take you
The road is dark and cold
No place for a young girl
Shouldn't you be at home
Your Mama's probably missed you by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Put your bags in back
Don't bother with the seatbelt
Take a cigarette
What station do you like
How far do you go?
What time are you expected
Did you leave a note
Telling where you might be by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Window open wide
Blowing throught the north woods
No radar gun in sight
Moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now
