Baby You Look Good To Me Tonight

John Denver

I've been out on this highway now five days in a row 
My words all run together and my feet are movin' slow 
I've got to stop and eat while it's still light 
There's a local angel sittin' on my right 
Do you believe in love at first sight? 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 

Well I'm ordinarily very shy 
And I'd be polite if I had the time 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 

Tomorrow I'll be good and gone 
Please don't make me wait that long 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 
"I get off at eleven," she said and walked away 
She poured a cup of coffee and she brought it on a tray 
She said, "It would be nice if you could stay, 
You're the best idea I've had all day, 
Usually I put up a fight 
But baby, you look good to me tonight" 

Well I'm ordinarily very shy 
But I grinned at her as I ate my pie 
Said, baby, you look good to me tonight 

I thought I must be in a dream 
When she asked me if I wanted cream 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 
All in all you know it's not a bad life on the road 
If you've got wheels to roll and lucky stars above 
Your destiny's your own, you go as far as you can go 
And if there's time to sleep 
There's time to make love 
I came I saw I conquered and I rode off in the sun 
But I know the look she left me with keeps telling me she won 
Her face is the only thing I see 
Whispering these words of prophecy: 
"Well, I may come easy but I don't come free 
You're never gonna see the last of me" 

Baby, you look good to me 
I was born to love you now can't you see 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 

Well, I'm ordinarily very shy 
But I take the time to satisfy 
Baby, you look good to me tonight 
Baby, you look good to me tonight
