Maybe a Moment

 

Get in the car ride up front with me

No there's nothing to do 'round here during the week

So we're goin' to Memphis gonna get out of town

Goin' to Memphis gonna mess around

 

I’ve got a bottle of Thunderbird in the trunk

I know a place if there's anything that you want

This old man runs the store,

he'll sell anything to anyone

But I don't know what time he closes up

 

So think about itBut baby, don't take too much time

Maybe only a moment

May be the time of your life

 

The boys might look rough

But they're not tough between me and you

Though they can be cruel

Like the girl Les keeps goin' on about

He just said she's got a pretty mouth

​

So you see

What I'm dealing with

How's the old sayin' go

With friends like this

 

Don't worry we’re bound to be back by mornin'time

Maybe only a moment

May be the time of your life

 

Come on, baby, come on

Ain't you ever stayed out all night long?

 

I know your brother, he don't scare me

Why do he need to tell your mama anything?

If I'm bothering you, just please let me know

But ain't we damn be grown?

 

Maybe it's Tuesday

Maybe it's damn near midnight

Maybe only a moment

May be the time of your life

Maybe only a moment

May be the time of your life
