Baby by Tonight

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
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
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
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
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
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
