[Chorus]
Hey Lord, take a look on around tonight
And find out where my baby's going to be
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
For he is far away from me
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's going to be alright
Things going to be alright with me

[Verse 1]
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
And make sure all his dreams are sweet
Send down that you got him on the road
But you'll make it softer for his feet
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's going to be alright
Till he's home and here with me

[Verse 2]
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
For he is sleeping under the sky
Hey Lord, make sure the ground he's sleeping on
Is always warm and dry
Ooo, don't give him too much pain
And keep him away from planes
Because my baby hates to fly

[Verse 3]
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
For it gets rough along the way
And if it all sounds strange
Just because I don't know how to pray
Ooo, won't you give him peace of mind
And if you ever find the time
Tell him I miss him everyday

[Chorus]
Hey Lord, take a look on around tonight
And find out where he's going to be
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
For he is far away from me
Hey Lord, would you look out for him tonight
Make sure that he's going to be alright
Till he's home and here with me
Here with me

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
