The night is gettin' late, the crowd's headed home It's just you and me, girl, on the lake shore I know I just met you, but I can't let you go Forget about your friends, baby, I'll drive you home (yeah)
I'll set you on the tailgate, we'll take it nice and slow I know it ain't your style, but I won't tell a soul, no
I know you gotta wake up for that nine-to-five But what's the point of livin', girl If you don't feel alive?
We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song 'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin' in the headlights Some day we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake If you're gettin' tired, honey, we'll put that thought to bed But we can sleep when we're dead
Put your pretty arms around me Now get in nice and close Whisper in my ear what you'd like to know And you can tell me 'bout your family Or tell me 'bout your day Or our lips can do the talking Let's listen, baby, what do you say?
I know it's kinda crazy for a Tuesday night But sometimes, a good thing don't need time
We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song 'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin' in the headlights Some day we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake If you're gettin' tired, honey, we'll put that thought to bed
With a smile, she pulled me to water Them southern girls, man, they just don't get any hotter I said, "No girl, got on my good jeans" She looked at me, "Boy, like what do you mean?"
We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Jump on in, let's have a little fun Small town lovers, hot summer nights Out here swimmin' in the moonlight
Some day we might regret leavin' this love out by the lake But no matter what you do, don't forget what we said Oh, we can sleep when we're dead We can sleep when we're dead, oh yeah
