Here I stand with my hat in my hands

Want to ask out to go and see the band

Where the music is sweet and we can sway to the beat

And I can hold you so close to me

But your mama said I had to have you home in bed

By a half past ten if I wanna see you again

So we don't have much time – they gonna start up at nine

If we leave right now we're gonna be just fine

So honey won't jump into my truck

And honey won't you kiss me once for luck

We're gonna have a hell of a time

First time I saw you smile I could see you walking down the isle

With flowers in your hair and your mama standin' there

Some day you'll be my wife be the one to share my life

Gonna have us a child we'll be happy all the while

So honey won't jump into my truck

And honey won't you kiss me once for luck

We're gonna have a hell of a time

Gonna hold you close and never let you go

Gonna buy that little house the one you've always dreamed about

Gonna ride the ol' porch swing I wanna give you everything

So here I stand with my hat in my hands

Want to ask out to go and see the band

So honey won't jump into my truck

And honey won't you kiss me once for luck

We're gonna have a hell of a time

Gonna hold you close and never let you go

Gonna hold you close and never let you go
