It was a lonely night in August
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
It was the hottest night of summer
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
He said, “Do you wanna go to heaven?"
“Take my hand, can you feel that feelin’?”
But that preacher’s words could not be heard
And I said, “Yeah just lead me on”
She said, “Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
“Take my hand, can you feel that feelin’?”
Now I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
She was sittin’ at the end of the bar when I saw her
She said, “Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, “Yeah just lead me on”
And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
“Take my hand, can you feel that feelin’?”
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win
And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
“Take my hand, can you feel that feelin’?”
She said, “Do you wanna go to heaven?"
And I said, “Yeah just lead me on”
Wen she whispered, come on in
And our final high school dance were just about over
And that preacher’s words still fill my head and I hear them now and then
I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten
But the preacher’s words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in
And I said, “Yeah just lead me on”
