[Verse 1] Four dead strings on a six string guitar Playing Jimmy Buffet covers in an Ohio bar [?] slinging drinks, filling up her tip jar I felt like Clyde with Bonnie in my car We were two dollar lighters, blowing smoke in the sky You don't think about tomorrow when you feel that alive [Chorus] We burn bright, got away scott free Highjack the night, doing time, you and me Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be We stole that summer like runaway thieves And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong And went by too fast [Verse 2] We be just getting started, come closing time Sweep the floor, lock the door, leave the world behind Two villains on the run, out searching for a thrill With nothing to lose, and nothing but time to k** [Chorus] We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me Hold a little misdemeanors, where i wish I could be We stole that summer like runaway thieves Yeah, we stole that summer like runaway thieves [Bridge] Well the last I heard, she was livin' on the coast That summer with her was the one I love the most And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong And went by too fast [Chorus] We burn bright, got away scott free Highjack the night, doing time, you and me Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be We stole that summer like runaway thieves We stole that summer like runaway thieves We stole that summer like runaway thieves We stole that summer, runaway thieves [Outro] And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong And went by too fast
