VERSE:

D G

Well that needle had climbed to 195 MPH

And this boot of mine wants to kick that pedal

Square in the face

This ain't that kinda night

There ain't a finish line

No, this ain't a race

I bought the bench not the buckets

And I'm feeling lucky

Slide on into me baby

CHORUS:

We're taking our sweet time

A G

In a real fast car

Ain't running no, running no

Red lights tonight

A G

Just sitting in park

Yeah, hugging every curve

Of your long lane road

That Camaro kiss, two lonely hearts

Don't knock us outta first
