Fighter

Cue the music out the driveway

Slow summer on a Friday

Here we go again, wild in the wind

Mama knows she's gonna be late

Hit 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 plan

You burn rubber when you smoke them tires

Day's gone and the night's on fire

She'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

Littered with 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

She'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 gasoline

When you know what you're headed to

What's a red blooded boy to do

She'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

Littered with 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 fire

She'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

Littered with 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 fire

You try to play it cool but the night's on fire
