It's Late
 

Written by D. Burnette

It's late We got to get on home It's late We been gone too long Too bad We should have checked the time Can't phone We done spent every dime It's late We're 'bout to run out of gas It's late We got to get home fast Can't speed We're in a slow down zone Baby, look at that clock Why can't it be wrong? Could've left home at a quarter to nine Could've had fun in plenty of time We got started just a little bit late I hope this won't be our last date 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 got to get on home It's late We been gone too long It's late We're 'bout to run out of gas It's late We got to get home fast Can't speed We're in a slow down zone Baby, look at that clock Why can't it be wrong? Could've left home at a quarter to nine Could've had fun in plenty of time We got started just a little bit late I hope this won't be our last date 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 got to get on home It's late We been gone too long

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

In the liner notes to Enchanted, Stevie writes that she "had been singing [this song] since the 4th grade...one of my grandfather's favorites." It's a cute cover that they did in the studio after a long night of recording - no doubt it really was late, and they were all wanting to "get on home"!
