It was a cool summer evening,

when I knocked on your door.

Thought I was hopelessly dreaming,

when I asked you for more.

It was short ride,

long stop,

burning end in flames.

It was a hot ride,

quick drive,

slide through the rain.

You said yes.

Can you guess,

where this is going?

I said okay.

To the highway.

Gonna leave them all smoking.

It was short ride,

long stop,

burning end in flames.

It was a hot ride,

quick drive,

slide through the rain.

We were driving down State Highway Number One.

Thought living is too short to really slow down.

We were just a couple kids trying to have some fun.

Spinning rubber, speeding metal, on the edge of town.

It was a car-break,

heart wreck,

burning end in flames.

It was a joy ride,

love dive,

slide through the rain.

We were going too fast, round the corners we’d skid,

crossed the centre line and went straight off the edge.

Looking back on it now, it’s amazing we lived,

and after all that we did it’s no surprise that you fled.

It was a car-break,

heart wreck,

burning end in flames.

It was a joy ride,

love dive,

slide through the rain.

Sorry now your car is just a paper weight.

I’ll help you pay it off, I got a really great scheme.

And maybe once I get out we can have another date.

Just like that evening we were driving the dream.

It was a car-break,

heart wreck,

time of my life.

It was a joy ride,

love dive,

with you by my side.

It was short ride,

long stop,

burning end in flames.

It was a hot ride,

quick drive,

can I see you again?
