We hit the road that evening

The rusted key to the hotel

The lipstick heart around our names

From the bed that we dreamt in

To the cars that we slept in

Getting kicks on the corner

We swore that we would never give up our life

Seatbelts and red lights

Headboards and headlights

Throw your hair back to the wind

From the kids that we were yesterday
