He said goodbye and just walked right out the door

He looked so good he must have practiced it before

He said I got me some business

Said it shouldn't take long

She cried

Oh you be home by dawn

She must have been crazy oh you be home by dawn

He started shooting when times got lean and hard

He didn't expect to be running through a wrecking yard

Like a doll

She was home with the lights on every shade was drawn

She cried oh bring him home by dawn

The boy's in trouble now oh you be home by dawn

She have been crazy home by dawn

Home by dawn

He said true love home by dawn

He said said said said

Said goodbye and just walked right out the door

She said last time honey you've done it too much before

She even said you can take it or leave it

So naturally he's gone

She cried oh be home by dawn

One too many times oh she said be home by dawn

Who did she think I was

To be home by dawn

No no no I don't know how to be home by dawn

By dawn home
