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
