Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up Let the wind blow through our hair Love is reckless Let's get reckless tonight There ain't nothin' out here but a big ol' Texas sky There's a red sun painted across the coming night Well, your daddy's got plans for you and mine thinks I'm at school They say it's reckless to chase a dream But this town's got nothing for you and me Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby We're gettin out of here. I could care less where it leads us Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight Let's take my Thunderbird and leave tonight, I'll keep the pedal to the floor till we see the morning light. They can't live our lives for us, If we let them we'll lose our love. And love dies hard in this Texas sun, I'd rather be reckless and on the run Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby We're gettin out of here. I could care less where it leads us Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance, Burn the bridge and don't look back. Turn the radio up roll the windows down Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside, Baby we're gettin' out of here Roll the windows down. Turn the radio up
