Album Cover By Now

By Now

Richard Shindell

9

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
