The darkest hour is always before the dawn

And it sure is dark out here driving all alone

Well I love you baby, I will for all my life

But it's sad to say I can't come home tonight



Because I'm down below the Mississippi line

where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light

I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight

On the side of the road underneath the pines

There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign

I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight



I tried to call you up and tell you so

but i can't use my phone on the paris road

Still I love you baby you know I'd never be untrue

sometimes it gets so hard when you're on the move



When your down below the Mississippi line

where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light

I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight

On the side of the road underneath the pines

There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign

I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight



I'm down below the Mississippi line

where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light

I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight

On the side of the road underneath the pines

There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign

I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight
