In The Car

(album: The Album - 2021)

Two kids, one old Corolla
A mixtape you made for me
Blackjack and a Coca Cola
Parked way back 'neath the trees

You were singing Yellow Ledbetter
And you knew every damn line
I was thinking, it doesn't get better
Than leaned-back seats under pine

In the car that night
Saturday in July
We had the radio down
And you were teeing 'em up
In the car that night
Two beautiful eyes
You weren't even trying
I was falling in love
And the headlights
Met the sunrise
It was so right, oh
In the car that night
We were on fire
Couldn't get higher
I was yours, you were mine
In the car that night
In the car that night
Oh, in the car that night

Tank top tan on your shoulder
It felt warm there on my lips
Your Levi's on the floorboard
And a "come and love me" kiss

In the car that night
Saturday in July
We had the radio down
And you were teeing 'em up
In the car that night
Two beautiful eyes
You weren't even trying
I was falling in love
And the headlights
Met the sunrise
It was so right, oh
In the car that night
We were on fire
Couldn't get higher
I was yours, you were mine
In the car that night
In the car that night

You were singing Yellow Ledbetter
And you knew every damn line
I was thinking, it doesn't get better
Than leaned-back seats under pine

In the car that night
Saturday in July
We had the radio down
And you were teeing 'em up
In the car that night
Two beautiful eyes
You weren't even trying
I was falling in love
And the headlights
Met the sunrise
It was so right, oh
In the car that night
We were on fire
Couldn't get higher
I was yours, you were mine
In the car that night
In the car that night
Oh, in the car that night
In the car that night
Oh, in the car that night
