We were driving on the highway after a long day at the beach
The sky looked pretty clear, so you took the top off of the Jeep
And we sang all the words to our favorite songs from the seventies
Serenading through the decades and the breeze
And up ahead, the sky turned red, and then it fades to gray
We can't protect our clothes, got wet out in the pouring rain
The windshield wipers were no help at all, but they turned on anyway
You smiled at me, and you said, "It's a perfect day"
I thought we wouldn't make it
We tried to wait it out
Under the gas station
We parked and we made out
For a couple minutes, then we went back on our route
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressing down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind going this way (oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
Driving a convertible in the rain
Even though you tried, you couldn't quite keep your hands at ten and two
I can't deny, I never tried to keep mine off of you
We've been together for almost two years
But tonight it feels brand new
Maybe it's the t-shirt, how the rain glues it to you
I thought we wouldn't make it
We tried to wait it out
Under the gas station
We parked and we made out
For a couple minutes, then we went back on our route
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressing down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind going this way (oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
We're breezin' past the streetlights as if there's a storm to chase
And I can recognize your love without looking at your face
And we're never going back to where we were just yesterday
But can we create this feeling every day?
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressing down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind going this way (oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
Driving a convertible in the rain
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
