Cue the music out the driveway
Slow simmer on a Friday
Here we go again, wild in the wind
Mama knows she's gonna be lateHit the party just to watch her dance
Good to go when she grabs your hand
Like a shot from a gun, it's a dead run
The first leg of a getaway planYou burn rubber when you smoke them tires
Day's done and the night's on fireShe's telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night's on fire
River of stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night's on fireShe's a seat laid back, a boy's dream
Drawin' hearts in the window steam
She's a gettin' you right, knows what you like
And pours it on like gasolineWhen you know what you're headed to
What's a red blooded boy to doShe's telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night's on fire
River of stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night's on fire
You try to play it cool but the night's on fireShe's telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night's on fireRiver of stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night's on fire
You try to play it cool but the night's on fireYou try to play it cool but the night's on fire
