Drove down south In your daddy's old car Trying to keep it steady Almost ready for the junk yard Windows down Smoking and waiting For the city To fade into a landscape I'm asking questions As if you know all the answers And I play some songs To remind you of the summer You always end up hating after longing When the heat gets too much to handle Step on the gas I wanna get out of town It's a dime store romance Still wanna make it count You can't have my heart It don't work like that At the end of the day You gotta give it right back hun You pinky promised We could make it To see the sky turn Red and orange You're going places One day you'll be some Kid I knew when I was younger Getting too much to handle Step on the gas I wanna get out of town It's a dime store romance Still wanna make it count You can't have my heart It don't work like that At the end of the day You gotta give it right back hun You gotta give it right back
