Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
shinning through the trees

Crickets are singing
and lightning bugs are floating on the breeze

Across the Field where the creek turns back
by the ol' stump road

Im gonna take you to a special place
that nobody knows
D A
Baby get ready ooooh ooooh
(Chorus)
D
You and me go fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin'stars
G
where the cool grass goes
D
down by the river in the full moonlite
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
G
just moving slow
Em A
Staying the whole night through
Em A D
feels so good to be with you

Spring is almost over and the summer'c commin'
and the days are getting long

Waited all winter for the time to be right
just to take you along

And it dont matter if we sit for ever
and the fish dont bite
G
jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night

Baby get ready oooooh oooooh
