Home Before Midnight (feat Harper James)

V6

[Intro - Male, River Saints] Yeah, come on One more mile, one more song We ain’t gotta be home just yet [Verse 1 - Male, River Saints] Got a little blues in my bloodstream Got your window down, hair in the breeze Radio’s playing that old heartache But you make me feel like a brand-new day There’s a two-lane road and a half-full tank A little moonlight and a roadside bank You said, “Boy, don’t get any ideas” I said, “Darlin’, the night’s still young out here” [Verse 2 - Female, Harper James] You got that trouble in your blue-jean smile Been talking me into detours for miles Daddy said, “Girl, be home by ten” Now it’s quarter to twelve and we’re out here again Your guitar’s leaning on the passenger side And I’ve got a thousand things I ain’t told you tonight You think you’re smooth with that slow-song charm But you ain’t the only one who’s got a wild heart [Pre-Chorus - Male] We could turn around at the county line [Pre-Chorus - Female] We could call it a night and say goodbye [Pre-Chorus - Both] But there’s something in the air, something in your eyes And the stars ain’t ready for us to say goodnight [Chorus - Both] We gotta be home before midnight But your hand fits mine and the moon feels right There’s a whole lot of road and a little more time And your lips keep making me change my mind We should be gone, we should be gone But the radio’s playing our favorite song If loving you wrong feels this right Baby, let’s be home before midnight [Post-Chorus - Male] Before midnight, yeah [Post-Chorus - Female] Don’t you make me say it twice [Verse 3 - Male, River Saints] I could take you down to the river bend Where the water runs deep and the road don’t end Tell you ‘bout the dreams I keep inside And the things I hide behind this country-boy pride I ain’t got diamonds, I ain’t got gold Just a beat-up guitar and a heart to hold But if you’ll stay till the stars burn out I’ll give you something worth singing about [Verse 4 - Female, Harper James] Well, I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need a crown Just a boy who’ll stay when the sun goes down Someone who can make an old dirt road Feel like the sweetest place I’ll ever know So quit looking at that dashboard clock Put your arm around me and let it all stop If tomorrow brings a little goodbye Tonight, you’re mine underneath this sky [Pre-Chorus - Male] There’s a porch light waiting down the lane [Pre-Chorus - Female] And my mama’s gonna ask where I’ve been [Pre-Chorus - Both] But the night is young and the feeling’s right So kiss me once more in the dashboard light [Chorus - Both] We gotta be home before midnight But your hand fits mine and the moon feels right There’s a whole lot of road and a little more time And your lips keep making me change my mind We should be gone, we should be gone But the radio’s playing our favorite song If loving you wrong feels this right Baby, let’s be home before midnight [Instrumental Break - Blues Guitar Solo and Country Fiddle] [Bridge - Female, Harper James] If I get grounded, you’ll be hearing from me You’ll be climbing that porch just to set me free [Bridge - Male, River Saints] I’ll bring my guitar, I’ll bring that grin And a brand-new excuse to see you again [Bridge - Both] Maybe we’re crazy, maybe we’re right Maybe forever starts on a night like tonight [Final Chorus - Both, Powerful Harmonies] We gotta be home before midnight But your hand fits mine and the moon feels right There’s a whole lot of road and a little more time And I’m falling for you underneath these skies We should be gone, we should be gone But we’re still singing our favorite song If loving you wrong feels this right Baby, let’s be home before midnight [Final Chorus - Both, Ad-libs] Home before midnight, hold me tight One more kiss in the pale moonlight Home before midnight, don’t say goodbye We’ve got the whole backroad and the rest of the night [Outro - Male, River Saints] One more mile, one more song [Outro - Female, Harper James] Just get me home before Mama wakes up [Outro - Both, Playful] Home before midnight! [End - Acoustic Guitar, Blues Lick and Fiddle Fade]
