You'll be back by the morning
I can't wait 'til the morning
You'll be back by the morning

I'm holding on
God knows I can't make you stay
This highway is long
And you ain't going my way, no

Alone in the dark, wondering where you are
With this heart that's yours to break
And now I'll face
Another lonely night in Georgia
Lonely night

I drove all night
The Sun's rising here in Memphis
But was I right? Oh
Or just being a little reckless?

Alone in the dark, wondering where you are
With this heart that's yours to break
And now I'll waste
Another lonely night in Georgia

Say, what's that sound?
Could've sworn I heard you calling
Calling my name
I turned around
I couldn't wait until the morning
I couldn't wait, I couldn't wait for you, baby

I can't wait till the morning
I'll be back by the morning
(Yes, I will, yes, I will)
I can't wait till the morning
I'll be back by the morning
(Yes, I will, baby darling)

I can't wait till the morning
I'll be back by the morning
(I'm coming back for you, baby)
I can't wait till the morning
I'll be back by the morning
