A bluesy, good-natured rocker on New Morning, one of the album's few uptempo numbers.
The words
A husband begs his wife to slip away with him for a weekend alone, leaving the children and everyday life behind.
The singer is eager for a getaway with his partner, just the two of them, somewhere they can forget their responsibilities for a while. It is a playful, affectionate song about married love rather than new romance. The band plays a loose, rolling twelve-bar blues with a strutting guitar, and Dylan sings with obvious relish. Light and humorous, it shows the domestic contentment that runs through New Morning in a more raucous key.
