[Verse 1]
Lay back baby and we'll do this right
There's blankets in back we can use
I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park
The cold can kill us before fumes
Now's the right time for a good song
Got something to say what I can't
Do you feel bad, like I feel bad?
We'll pour us a road, we'll both drink and drive

[Chorus]
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made

[Verse 2]
Come alive on the driver's side
So close I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but there's sweet inside
Wine must go right to your head
It'd be easy if you get mad
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here
Stay out all night
No one will know
Us and the moonlight
