A scarecrow and yellow moon
And road house on the edge of town
Hear that midnight rooster crow
Well I have one more before I go
But honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
The night is cool beneath the stars
I'm riding home in John's old car
Got my head out in the wind
Here I am drunk up again
But honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
Me and John in a pickup truck
A bottle of gin and a paper cup
Running wild and living hard
And I passed out in our front yard
But honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
The moon is high, the sun is down
Honey came out in her old night gown
On a porch at a quarter o'three
Talking to the deputy, sheriff and me
But honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
I said honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
Well honey don't turn out the light
Cause I think I'm in the mood
