Hey girl, now I know

You've been waiting for me much too long

But I got caught up in traffic

One turn I made was wrong



You see the DJ on the radio

Was playing our song

And I was reminiscing of the day

That passed and gone



Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away

Carried away, carried away



And before I knew it

I was ten miles out of the way

My mind was filled with thoughts

Sweet thoughts of yesterday



Of a time when you took my hand

And made me feel just like a man

Of a time when you took a hold

And thrilled my very soul



Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away

Carried away, carried away



294 said the highway sign

I should be home by now, home just in time

To lay her down to sleep

And pray the Lord her soul to keep

'Cause I love her, lover her, love her



By the time I got started

In the right direction

The DJ on the radio

Was playing another selection



But our song

Was still on my mind

Memories lingered on

Of how you have been so kind



Oh, I just, baby, I, I got carried away

Carried away, carried away



Thinking about the times

When you were so good to me



Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away

Carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away



And before I knew it

I was ten miles out of the way

And I was wondering

Would you believe me when I say



Oh, I just, baby, I got carried away

Carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away

Carried away, carried away
