[Opening]
[E]Cue the music out the driveway, slow summer on a Friday
Here we go again, wild in the wind, [B]mama knows she’s gonna be late [E]
Hit the party just to watch her dance, good to go [A]when she grabs your hand

[verse 2]
You burn rubber when you smoke them tires, day’s gone and the night’s on fire [E]
[A]She’s telling you turn off the [E]highway, the [C#m]sunset melts all the [B]blue away
[A]Blackbird watching on the [E]telephone wire, [C#m]whiskey on her lips and the [B]night’s on fire
[A]Littered with stars close [E]enough to touch, [C#m]July promise in the [B]back of that truck
[A]Her every move was [E]taking you higher, [C#m]you try to play it cool but the [B]night’s on fire
[verse 3]
[A] [E] [B] [E] [B]
She’s a [E]seat laid back, a boy’s dream, drawing hearts in the [A]window steam
She’s a [E]gettin’ you right, [A]knows what you like, [E]and pours it on like [A]gasoline
[verse 4]
When you know what you’re headed to, what’s a red blooded boy to do [E]
[A]She’s telling you turn off the [E]highway, the [C#m]sunset melts all the [B]blue away
[A]Blackbird watching on the [E]telephone wire, [C#m]whiskey on her lips and the [B]night’s on fire
