We drove right past That no trespassing sign We sat on the tailgate And watched the planes take off We thought we had all night There was no need to rush That's when those cops Came pulling up And I thought Man, ain't this some shh Your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight I wouldn't change one thing Baby, yeah I know it sounds crazy But there was somethin' bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you Going wild child To be worried about going to jail You were thinking that Running for it Would make a good story I was thinking you were crazy as hell And you were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car Man, they weren't playin They sure threw those cuffs on quick You tried to sweet talk 'em They didn't fall for it, but I did You were on the left I was on the right I knew you didn't smoke When you asked him for a light And I laughed He got mad and slammed the door Your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight I wouldn't change one thing Baby, yeah I know it sounds crazy But there was somethin' bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you Going wild child To be worried about going to jail You were thinking that Running for it Would make a good story I was thinking you were crazy as hell And you were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car Oh and you were like oh oh oh oh oh oh Side by side And locked in tight They were taking their time But we didn't mind We talked, we laughed We sat real close By the time they let us go I was already gone But there was somethin' bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you Going wild child To be worried about going to jail You were thinking that Running for it Would make a good story I was thinking you were crazy as hell And you were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car I fell in love in the back of a cop car Side by side And locked in tight They were taking their time But we didn't mind We talked, we laughed We sat real close By the time they let us go I was already gone (oh oh oh) I was already gone baby I fell in love in the back of a cop car
