Lyrics

Tick-tock evening in a truck stop town
tapping at your window, listen to the sound
won’t you come down
Baby be good to me

Oh I’ll drive the car around
Baby be good to me

Walk on water if you want me to
keep me straight, girl I’ll wait for you
patience is a virtue
Baby be good to me

Oh I’d never want to hurt you
Baby be good to me

Wheels off the welcome wagon
who’s my honey bee?
Fool me once, shame on you
baby two times, shame on me

Tail spin, bookend
dragging our laundry through this mess
hanging my head and baby I must confess
I’m just not listening

Reed-legged walking down a red dirt road
wash your feet, but the red still shows
save your jaw boning
Baby be good to me

Oh get up in the morning
Baby be good to me

Seek, find, bet me blind
we’ll start out talking small
Ante up, blame my bluff
but I never heard you call

Free to roam, come back home
but keep your suitcase packed
don’t do me like that
Baby be good to me

Can’t love you like that
Baby be good to me

Son, you be careful
‘cause you’re bound to find
pretty, pretty women are the meanest kind
scratch that line
Baby be good to me

Oh you look so fine
Baby be good to me

Yeah you look so fine
Baby be good to me
