It's Friday night down in Germantown You're ridin' shotgun wearin' black Just another Friday night in Germantown But something tells me we ain't goin' back Mary's glowin' by the dashboard light Giving benediction to the lost Something's stirring in the black, black night I guess, every blessing has its cost Do you remember graduation day? I burned like fire beneath your kiss Said, you could see us somewhere far away Oh, but baby, not like this I heard a siren and a shot ring out But my mind would not believe My plates expired and my taillight's out And you've got something up your sleeve I'm doin' ninety toward the county line And the rain is comin' down Said, you were onto something big this time But it's the other way around It's Friday night down in Germantown The blood is pounding in my veins Just another rainy night in Germantown Why does it always have to rain?
