By Now

Window open wide
Blowing throught the north woods
No radar gun in sight
The moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
Is that you MaryAnn ?
I almost drove right by you
Can I give you a hand ?
Is there somewhere I can take you?
The road is dark and cold
No place for a young girl
Shouldn't you be at home ?
Your Mama's probably missed you by now
Put your bags in back
Don't bother with the seatbelt
Take a cigarette
What station do you like?
How far do you go?
What time are you expected?
Did you leave a note
Telling where you might be by now?
Window open wide
Blowing throught the north woods
No radar gun in sight
Moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
