[Intro] It’s smellin’ good in here! [Verse 1] Dime bag on the dash Cherry red dust on your tongue You said, "Meet me at the laundromat" Where the payphone's been ripped from the wall Leather seat, half a tank left A wristwatch glowing too loud You passed me a smile and a paper fold Like a secret we could swallow whole [Pre-Chorus] And the bass keeps knocking Through the sweltering heat My hand on your knee says "Don't look back, don't speak" [Chorus] Midnight ride, midnight ride We’ll be gone before the sun Midnight ride, midnight ride Hold me till the cops roll up Midnight ride, midnight ride Burning fast on borrowed time (Oh-oh) midnight ride We got a dime and we got nothing but time [Verse 2] Bottle caps, motel curtains A TV flickered blue and white You counted change on the dashboard I watched your pupils swallow the light Ten-dollar dreams in a paper sack Cheap gold chain, just a dime for a snack Every friend we knew was running low Every promise wore too thin [Pre-Chorus] And the bass keeps knocking Through the sweltering heat My hand on your knee says "Don't look back, don't speak" [Chorus] Midnight ride, midnight ride We’ll be gone before the sun Midnight ride, midnight ride Hold me till the cops roll up Midnight ride, midnight ride Burning fast on borrowed time (Oh-oh) midnight ride We got a dime and we got nothing but time [Bridge] Now the ashes are cold And the tape runs out But I still taste that danger Every time your name comes out We’re all outlaws With a laugh too wild Running on a promise That could never survive [Final Chorus] Midnight ride, midnight ride We’ll be gone before the sun Midnight ride, midnight ride Hold me till the cops roll up Midnight ride, midnight ride Burning fast on borrowed time (Oh-oh) midnight ride We got a dime and we got nothing but tonight
