lyrics

Little Jon was on the wrong side of feeling good when they found him sitting under that streetlight
He took some money from his mothers nightstand drawer just for the sake of starting another fight.
But when he climbs into Charlie's beat up Mustang Ford on the passenger side
He knows everything is gonna be alright
you can see him smilin' across the cab

Lets take it outside.
Broken the rules all of our lives, why stop tonight?
I think I see the bright lights at the end of abandoned back roads in my mind
I've been out alone walking for miles
Come swing down, and let me ride

You and I were in the back seat
You never knew it but I always was a white hot torch for you, babe
I tried to put out the flame, but I couldn't
It was just too much to contain

And I felt it burn all night long in the Echo Park bar when some old punk tried to touch your leg
I threw one big right before i thought twice
His boys was chasin' us through the rain
Let it wash the blood off of my hands

Lets take it outside
broken the rules all of our lives, why stop tonight?
I think I see the bright lights at the end of abandoned back roads in my mind
I've been out alone walking for miles
Come swing down, and let me ride
