    I've been out on this highway now
    Five days in a row
    My words all run together
    My feet are movin' slow
    I've got to stop and eat
    While it's still light
    There's a local angel sitting on my right
    Do you believe in love at first sight
    Baby, you look good to me tonight

    I'm ordinarily very shy
    And i'd be polite if i had time
    Baby, you look good to me tonight
    Tomorrow, i'll be good and gone
    Please don't make me wait that long
    Baby, you look good to me tonight

    ¡°i get off at eleven,¡± she said
    And walked away
    She poured a cup of coffee and
    She brought it on a tray
    She said, ¡°it would be nice if you could stay
    You're the best idea i've had all day
    Usually i put up a fight but
    Baby, you look good to me tonight.¡±

    Well i'm ordinarily very shy
    But i grinned at her as i ate my pie
    Baby, you look good to me tonight
    I thought i must be in a dream
    When she asked me if i wanted cream
    Baby, you look good to me tonight

    All in all you know
    It's not a bad life on the road
    If you've got wheels to roll
    And lucky stars above
    Your destiny's your own
    You go as far as you can go
    And if there's time to sleep
    There's time to make love

    I came, i saw, i conquered
    But i rode off in the sun
    But i know the look she left with me
    Keeps telling me she won
    Her face is the only thing i see
    Whispering those words of prophesy

    ¡°i may come easy, but i don't come free
    You're never gonna see the last of me¡±
    Baby, you look good to me tonight
    I was born to love you now can't you see
    Baby, you look good to me tonight
    I'm ordinarily very shy
    But i take the time to satisfy
    Baby, you look good to me tonight
