We told our parents
we were going to the movies
But we really just made out by the lake
We watched the sun go down
and the moon come out
As we laid beneath the stars
She said, one more kiss and
that's all you'll get
Then you gotta take me home
So let me catch a red light
Let me have a flat tire
Cause I need a traffic jam
on this midnight road
So I can keep your hand in mine
I can take a back road
And I can try to lead it slow
Cause I know the second
that I get you home
It'll start a can't sleep,
can't stop missing you kind of night
We had a moment we
wish could last forever
But we had a curfew that
wouldn't let it be
You had your head laid down,
right there on my shoulder
And this old highway never
felt so sure to me
So let me catch a red light,
let me have a flat tire
Cause I need a traffic jam
on this midnight road
So I can keep your hand in mine
I can take a back road
And I can drive real slow
Cause I know those days
That I'll get you home
Little starter can't sleep
Can't stop missing you kind of night
I'm gonna take the route
where the tracks run
Right across the road
I hope there's a train stretch
From here to
Tennessee
I'm looking up at the night sky
So if I chance
I would see a shooting star
I can make just one wish
For you to stay with me
So let me catch a red light
And let me have a fine time
Cause I need a traffic jam
on this midnight road
So I can keep your hand in mine
I can take a back road
And I can drive real slow
Cause I know the second
that I get you home
It was hard, can't sleep,
can't stop missing you kind of night
Missing you kind of night
Missing you kind of nice
Missing you kind of nice
You
