Same old beat around the bush, I'd have got to it later But later came a little too soon Funny how your friends all know, but my face don't show How I feel about you, I was putting up a good fight Till we were stranded at a party, sitting in a porch light all alone And it's hard to play it cool when eyes looking at you Are the prettiest you ever laid on Darling, can I take you out? Waitin' for a minute I got an extra ticket to a turnpike show We can both sneak out Alibi together, and it don't hurt nothin' what your mama don't know Won't you run with me to Montgomery? Whatever the hell, I'm down Hey, darling, can I take you out? Well, the plainest day, it's hard to say 'Cause all I want to do is call you mine Tell me, how's a boy like me get a girl like you wrapped up like a kudzu vine? Girl, I'm ready for the time to come And the time is now to get it off my chest and just come clean Going to take the chance to dance turns to kissin', my diamonds of gasoline Hey, darling, can I take you out? Waitin' for a minute I got an extra ticket to a turnpike show We can both sneak out Alibi together, and it don't hurt nothin' what your mama don't know Won't you run with me to Montgomery? Whatever the hell, I'm down Hey, darling, can I take you out? How 'bout we give this thing a try? Give it a try, just sittin' on the fence line Even if, even if it's just a night, yeah Darling, can I take you out? Waitin' for a minute I got an extra ticket to a turnpike show We can both sneak out Alibi together, and it don't hurt nothin' what your mama don't know Won't you run with me to Montgomery? Whatever the hell, I'm down Hey, darling, can I take you out? Hey, darling, can I take you out?
