[edit] Story

A girl heads out for a Friday evening date at six in the evening. Her mother tells her to be back in bed before dawn. After the teenagers see a show and get a bite to eat, they head down to the creek by the boondocks for some late-night dancing. Eventually, they spend the night there and head out to her house at 4 A.M. They reached the girl's house at 6 A.M., but the rooster crowed at five. The girl is grounded and punished with chores, but sneaks out again that evening.

[edit] The Music

Musicwise, the song is bright and very fast. Harmonicas are heard throughout this piece and are given a few solos as well. Garth's vocal range for the verses, for the majority, is very limited.
