There's a band playing down the street we could see, yeah

Movie showing down at the Von Lee

A church supper with Grandma and Grandad

Let's go out and have ourselves the best time we've ever had



Say goodnight, my Miss Missy

Goodnight, it's time to go home

Hey, I might call you later

Oh Missy, girl, it's late, it's time to go home



Weight of the world's now on your head

I take back all those mean things I said

Little baby kicking down in your gut

I hope it doesn't grow up to be as crazy as us



Goodnight, oh my Miss Missy

Goodnight, it's time to go home

Hey, I might, I just might, call you later

Oh Missy it's time to go home



So let's dance slow just one more time

Let me hold your face close to mine, yeah

Let's pretend that Jesus has come

To take us out just one more night for fun



Goodnight, oh my Miss Missy

Goodnight, it's time to go home

Hey, I might call you later

Oh Missy, girl, it's time to go home



(Repeat chorus)
