Ricky Nelson - It's Late Lyrics
It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long
Too bad (too bad)
Can't phone (can't phone)
We done spent ev'ry dime
It's late (it's late)
We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (it's late)
We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (can't speed)
We're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date
Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see
Can't be (can't be)
Looks like the sun to me
It's late (it's late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long
It's late (it's late)
We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (it's late)
We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (can't speed)
We're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock
Why can't it be wrong
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date
Look up (look up)
Is that the moon we see
Can't be (can't be)
Looks like the sun to me
It's late (it's late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (too bad)
I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (it's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (it's late)
We've been gone too long
(It's late)

Ricky Nelson was as good as Elvis Presley.
Ricky lived twice as long as Buddy on this earth, they're both in a place where time is irrelevant. Amen.

ANOTHER GREAT SONG THAKS RICKY
An amazing song!! 🤠
Love this song!
Its late time for me to go to sleep
me and my lil man listen to this in the 67' jammin to all the oldies
I hate how my dream car is sitting right there and not in my driveway.
Hot 100
Billboard US Charts (1959). #74
Probably the best thing he ever recorded, with great support from a young James Burton on guitar.
It's late (it's late)

this song is on 🔥!
Great old song, it's been a long while since I heard it!
Rick's best song along with Gypsy Woman!
I'm more into music from the 60's and 70's, but this is one of the few songs from the 50's that I actually love.
59 Corvette. Roman Red, MSRP $3875.00
I need a drink. Good song...
If I were the guy in the song I'd be like "Fuck the slow down zone! My girlfriend's dad is probably pissed at me, My car's the only one on the road at this time,so I'm flooring it."
I consider my self a rockabilly and love this music
good song
A good tune but such production! Bring in Dave Edmunds, Phil Spector and Richard Perry why don't ya? A little less would have been better.

RIP Ricky Nelson Your Music Lives On!
to: M W / M B. J dynamite shorty Esom at CUMC Lincoln, NE.
Ricky Nelson has to be one of the best artists of the 50s if not the absolute best
Any decade that has Chuck Berry in it ... let's leave at "Ricky was an awesome performer"
great song just to good love this song awesome sounds good
from adam harris ricky nelson was a good singer its late my favorite song from him
i was a London cabbie for 30 years and remember picking up ricky nelson bobby vee and del Shannon at a London hotel and taking them to the albert hall where they were performing.cant remember much else about it except i say their songs for the rest of the night,while working
What about dion
+RoHoss i dont remember if he waS there but i knew the others more i do remember dion and the belmonts though.it was a long time ago now.i still play and love their music.
its late, gotta get the port timing right in your 392 2 stroke hemi! Gotta get DFI 2 injection with any port pattern you want!
The one down-vote was hopefully a mistaken down-vote; otherwise, he should have been swallowed.
the great James Burton on lead..............have had the pleasure of being sideman in his band for the past three years when he comes over for concerts at The Floral Pavilion in New Brighton.
ooh my are you lucky. please if can tell him thanks for the music. would love to have heard him and Marty Stuart togethr
Un salto all'indietro non certo di poco....una serie incredibile di successi nel più puro stile rock-a-billy. Una delle pretty faces che all'epoca andavano per la maggiore. E un esordio cinematografico in un film western mitico a fianco di due mostri sacri con John Wayne e Dean Martin : "Un dollaro d'onore" - Rivisatare per favore; ne vale la pena.
Original: Ricky Nelson ( U.S.A. ) - It's late ( Dorsey Burnette ) ( released: 1/1959 ). Cover: Johnny Ortega y su Conjunto ( México ) - Es tarde ( 196? ). Shakin' Stevens ( U.K. ) - It's late ( 1983 ).

Flip side of "Never Been Anyone Else But You". How times have changed since 1959. The fear of running out of gas or having to face her dad is so innocent compared to now. Back then, that may have meant big trouble.
Totally agree. More wholesome then, I think.
+Mark Muffs life was little more innocent then i think.its too damb grown up now after ten they are too serious.thats why we enjoyed our youth more
+tony sugg Fort sure. Kids are so street smart at 10 now. They know what they can get away with. Laws limiting parents on disciplinary actions doesn't help matters either. All the more reason I stayed childless.
It's Late was the A Side.
oooooooh I luv this song
IMHO Rick Nelson's greatest song.
@DET313 Who WOULDN'T have Travelin ' man in the top 3?? ;) ;) Poor Little Fool, Travelin Man, It's late are my top three. If I had to round out a top 10 then it would be Hello Mary Lou, Garden Party, Believe what you say, It's up to you, Lonesome Town, Never be anyone else, Sweeter than you.
+adam ropp great songs all of them.most of the bands about these days will be forgotten before these rick will thats for sure
DET313 - I agree - this along with gypsy woman are my two favorites - although there are numerous others just slightly behind!!!
One of his best. He had many. Believe what you say was great. A lot of his music was introduced on his family’s sitcom in the late 50s
Two words "Stood Up"
Great tune !!!
