Don’t Wait Up

Don’twait up. I’ll be home late.

I’mgoing out tonight.

Don’tyou worry, I’ll be fine.

I’mgoing where the lights are bright.

Dancing,singing off the wall,

Hangingout until last call,

Laughingtil it hurts, so, don’t wait up.

 

I’vebeen working these poor bones

Tilpast the setting sun.

Can’tdeny I’m overdue to go out for a little fun.

I’dask you to come along

Butyou’d think it’s corrupt, so

I’llsay goodnight and tell you, “Don’t wait up.”

It’sjust a little honky-tonk

Wherefriends all gather round

Tolaugh and have a drink or three

Whereno one tries to put you down.

I’llbe drinking kindness from

Anever-empty cup until

Theyturn the lights out, so don’t wait up.

 

Don’twait up. I’ll be home late.

I’mgoing out tonight.

Don’tyou worry, I’ll be fine.

I’mgoing where the lights are bright.

Dancing,singing off the wall,

Hangingout until last call,

Laughingtil it hurts, so, don’t wait up.
