Lyrics

I was waiting for a week to get sober or somethin’
But i ain’t touched a drop and my head won’t stop spinning
(Cause) Reality set in that nothing in life is ever for sure
Yea I am starting to think that this hangover has no cure

My body’s in motion but my brain won’t budge
And escape is the only fantasy i can think of
So I am taking you with me to find where we belong
Lizzy Strap in tight and crank up an old love song

baby i don’t know where we’re going tonight
take my hand in yours and hold it tight

if you’re scared well that’s alright
we got the rest of our lives to put up a fight

in this pale moonlight
Yea you look just right
come a little closer baby
i won’t bite

just a distraction to keep my eyes on the road
and my head out of the game before it starts to explode
Cause there ain’t nobody left who wants to play by the rules anyway
Let’s just forget all our troubles and head down the old highway

baby i don’t know where we’re going tonight
take my hand in yours and hold it tight

if you’re scared well that’s alright
we got the rest of our lives to put up a fight

in the pale moonlight
Yea you look just right
come a little closer baby
i won’t bite

Elizabeth sits by the side of the road
As the full moon bathes her in a soft yellow glow
with a train in the distance, she whispers the softest tune
Says there’s beauty in the battle, and I know we’ll win one soon

she stands up In the shadows of the cold night air
With a stone eyed stare says “let’s go somewhere”
And opens up the driver side door of the automobile
Tells me life’s too short to let the devil take the wheel

baby i don’t know where we’re going tonight
take my hand in yours and hold it tight

if you’re scared well that’s alright
we got the rest of our lives to put up a fight

in the pale moonlight
Yea you look just right
come a little closer baby
i won’t bite
