The darkest hour is always before the dawn   And it sure is dark out here driving all alone   Well I love you baby, I will for all my life   But it's sad to say I can't come home tonight      Because I'm down below the Mississippi line    where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light   I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight   On the side of the road underneath the pines   There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign   I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight      I tried to call you up and tell you so   but i can't use my phone on the paris road   Still I love you baby you know I'd never be untrue   sometimes it gets so hard when you're on the move      When your down below the Mississippi line   where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light   I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight   On the side of the road underneath the pines   There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign   I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight      I'm down below the Mississippi line    where the clouds are dancing in the full moon light   I love you baby but i gotta go to Varnado tonight   On the side of the road underneath the pines   There's a big arrow flashing my name on the sign   I love you baby but I gotta show in Varnado tonight
