I knocked off work at four o'clock, the sun was beating down
The foreman offered double-time, but I couldn't hang around
We won't need the money when we're out beside the lake
Why don't you grab your fishing pole, it's time we made a break
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh my darling, it's time that we left town
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Don't forget to pack the ice, don't forget the beans
Don't forget my little bag, you know the one I mean
Don't forget to lock the door, don't forget the stove
Don't forget to leave the house eight times before you go
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh my darling, it's time that we left town
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh my darling, it's time that we left town
Big red moon is rising, shimmers in the heat
A gust of wind blows up a draw, dances in a field of wheat
My arm around your shoulder as we're headed out of town
The stereo cranked up and the windows all rolled down
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh darling, it's time that we left town
Oh my darling, it's time that we left town
Oh my darling, it's time that we left town
