I love you in the night, take you, to the moon.

I'd lay in a pile of burning money, that I've earn-ed.

Just to have you ba-by, close to me.

Notes:
1. *  'Live' version varies from studio recording with an extra-long Intro., (x5 vs X3) refrains.
   ** In 'Live on the River Boat Queen' version long-sustain on D chord (x24) to
the band and wind-up the band's performance.
2. If I get the opportunity, I'll add Jimmie Vaughan's Lead riffs to a future version.
