E 
Cue the music out the driveway 

Slow summer on a Friday 

Here we go again, wild in the wind 
B                              E 
Mama knows she’s gonna be late 

Hit the party just to watch her dance 
           A 
Good to go when she grabs your hand 
     E                  A               E 
Like a shot from a gun, it’s a dead run 
                   A 
The first leg of a getaway plan 

You burn rubber when you smoke them tires 
                                   E 
Day’s gone and the night’s on fire 
A                              E 
She’s telling you turn off the highway 
    C#m                  B 
The sunset melts all the blue away 
A                         E 
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire 
C#m                         B 
Whiskey on her lips and the night’s on fire 
A                         E 
Littered with stars close enough to touch 
C#m                 B 
July promise in the back of that truck 
A                  E 
Her every move was taking you higher 
C#m                             B 
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire

        E 
She’s a seat laid back, a boy’s dream 
                      A 
Drawin’ hearts in the window steam 
        E                  A                   E 
She’s a gettin’ you right, knows what you like 
                     A 
And pours it on like gasoline 

When you know what you’re headed to 
                               E 
What’s a red blooded boy to do 
A                              E 
She’s telling you turn off the highway 
    C#m                  B 
The sunset melts all the blue away 
A                         E
