lyrics

Late night
Rolling slow
Around a town that I used to know
It’s been a few years now
But it feels like home

Take the corner a little too fast
See the blue lights behind you flash
When you’re nervous you still drum your fingertips onto the dash

Lookin out of the window and into the dark
Passin’ the sidewalk beside the park
Where your careless words went and broke my heart

And I hold up in my room for days
Wishin’ that there was somethin’ that I could change
Waitin’ on a white horse that never came

Sweep me off my feet my American Sweetheart
And crash into me
At some dirt road dive bar
Kissin’ in the street
Drive your 84 vintage sports car
Wild and free
All I see are the stripes and the stars

Right place, wrong time
They say lightning strikes just once not twice
Then tell me why I can feel the sparks fly

Runnin’ stop signs, color blind
Brushing up on your hand, shift to overdrive
I don’t want to but the fast lane makes me feel like I’m alive

Sweep me off my feet my American Sweetheart
And crash into me
At some dirt road dive bar
Kissin’ in the street
Drive your 84 vintage sports car
Wild and free
All I see are the stripes and the stars
