"Tickets To Turnpike" lyrics

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?
