Bob McDill      Scarecrow and a yellow moon   And a roadhouse on the edge of town.   Hear that midnight rooster crow   Well I'll have one more before I go   But Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight   The night is cool beneath the stars   Ridin' home in John's old car   Got my head out in the wind   Here I am drunked up again   But Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight      Me and John in a pickup truck   Bottle of gin and a paper cup   Runnin' wild and livin' hard   I passed out in our front yard   But Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight      INSTRUMENTAL      The moon is high, the sun is down   Honey came out in her night gown   On the porch at a quarter to three   Talkin' to the deputy sheriff and me   But Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight      I said Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I’m in the mood for love tonight   I said Honey, don't turn out the light   Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
