Girl, I know I don't know you
But your pretty little eyes so blue,
Are pulling me in like the moon on your skin
I'm so glad you trusted me to slide up on this dusty seat
And let your hair down, and get outta town

Got the stars comin' out,
Over my hood
And all I know now
Is it's going good

You got your hands up,
You're rocking in my truck
You got the radio on,
You're singing every song
I'm set on cruise control
I'm slowly losing hold of everything I got
You're looking so damn hot
And I don't know what road we're on,
Or where we've been from starin' at you
Girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end

Gonna cuss the morning,
When it comes
'Cause I know that the rising sun,
Ain't no good for me
'Cause you'll have to leave
Gonna make the most of every mile
Do anything to make your smile,
Land on my lips
And get drunk on your kiss
The clock on the dash,
Says 3:35
There's plenty of gas,
And the night's still alive

You got your hands up,
You're rocking in my truck
You got the radio on,
You're singing every song
I'm set on cruise control
I'm slowing losing hold of everything I got
You're looking so damn hot
And I don't know what road we're on,
Or where we've been from starin' at you
Girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end

You got your hands up,
You're rocking in my truck
You got the radio on,
You're singing every song
I'm set on cruise control
I'm slowing losing hold of everything I've got
You're looking so damn hot
And I don't know what road we're on,
Or where we've been from starin' at you
Girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end

I don't want this night to end
No I don't want this night to end
