Home Before Dark

by Tom Russell

Lyrics
Listen to me little girl
It's a wild unholy world
Don't break my heart
You be home before dark

Long ago and far away
Mama said son don't you stray
Don't drift too far
You be home before dark

Last night I heard the devil crawling 'cross the floor
I turned the light on now he don't come 'round no more
Sometimes I close my eyes
I dream the sun won't ever rise
But don't lose heart
We'll make it home before dark

Last night I heard the devil crawling 'cross the floor
I turned the light on now he don't come 'round no more
Sometimes I close my eyes
I dream the sun won't ever rise
But don't lose heart
We'll make it home before dark

Listen to me little girl
It's a wild unholy world
Don't break my heart
You be home before dark
