Maybe a Moment Songtext
von Justin Townes Earle

Get in the car for me
Know there′s nothing to do 'round here during the week
So we′re goin' to Memphis to get out of town
Goin' to Memphis to mess around

I got a bottle of Thunderbird in the trunk
I know a place if there′s anything you want
This old man runs the store, he′ll sell anything to anyone
But I don't know what time it closes up

So think about it
But baby, don′t take too much time
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life

The boys might look rough
But they're not tough between me and you
Though they can be cruel
Like the girl Les is goin′ on about
He just said she's got a pretty mouth


So you see
What I′m dealing with
How's the old sayin' go
With friends like this

Don′t worry or weep
I′m bound to be back by mornin' time
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life

Come on, baby, come on
Ain′t you ever stayed out all night long?

I know your brother, he don't scare me
Why do he need to tell your mama anything?
If I′m bothering you, let me know
Ain't we damn be grown?

Maybe it′s Tuesday
Maybe it's damn near midnight
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life
