A light goes out she steals down the stairs
A shy little smile at the door
Fresh like a breeze new like a toy
She wants the windows down to hear the
Car roar
Summer's drive
Saints alive
Fading fast
Long white dress
It's a little test
That we ain't gonna pass
Don't have anything left to say
When all the nights
Were leading this way
Hold on tight to me
Mary
She gets so tired of the hotel job
There's any place that she'd rather be
So we drive so fast that the walls start to shake
And the local cops can't even check our speed
Lean on out
Scream and shout
To myself
In this whole big blue
It's just me and you
And there ain't no one else
Don't have anything left to say
When all the nights
Were leading this way
Hold on tight to me
Mary
Come on just once just take a chance
On me on life on romance
I want a night that lasts all night
I want you framed in starlight
To hell with them damn them all
Tonight we're
Going to fall
State line left far behind
With all the fools who always said you shouldn't
Want too much
So we take the road as far as it will go
To get a little something that the
World can't touch
Dashboard lights
Set our sights
Way up high
In this whole big blue
It's just me and you
If only for a while
Don't have anything left to say
When all the nights
Were leading this way
Hold on tight to me
Mary
