It's Late:Dorsey Burnette. On LIBERTY Records in 1959. #1. It's late we gotta get on home It's late, we've been gone too long. Too bad, we should've checked our time. Can't phone, we done spent every dime. #2. It's late, we're about to run outta gas. It's late, we gotta get home fast. Can't speed, we're in a slow down zone. Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong? If we could've left home at a quarter to nine.. would've had fun and plenty of time. We got started just a little bit late, hope this won't be our last date. #3. Look up, is that the moon we see? Can't be, looks like the sun to me. It's late, I hate to face your Dad. Too bad, I know he's gonna be mad. It's late we gotta get on home. It's late, we've been gone too long. INTERLUDE: If we could've left home at a quarter to nine.. would've had fun and plenty of time. We got started just a little bit late, hope this won't be our last date. #4. Look up, is that the moon we see? Can't be, looks like the sun to me. It's late, I hate to face your Dad. Too bad, I know he's gonna be mad. It's late we gotta get on home. It's late, we've been gone too long. It's late we gotta get on home. It's late, we've been goooone too long. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
