You had the headlights off so no one could see
Sneaking up the driveway, I was about seventeen
Waiting there for you at the window around midnight
Smiling, arms wide open run across the lawn
That crazy dog barking like a fire alarm
I jumped in the car and said, "Boy, you better fly"
Don't you worry, I have a story to tell
Cause if we got caught, we were gonna catch hell
But I'd pay any price for that look in your eyes
When we ran like wild horses through the night
Sticking to the back roads, staying out of sight
Making the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was
Young love
Not a cloud in the sky, only the heavens and us
That old radio singing, tires kicking up dust
Oh in all my years, I don't think I've known a better night
Faded jeans laying in a field on the ground
You and me smiling, rolling round and round
In all my life, don't think I've held on quite as tight
We ran out of time with the rise of the dawn
Autumn was calling for us to move on
And now I only see you in a memory or two
When we ran like wild horses through the night
Sticking to the back roads, staying out of sight
Making the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was
Makin' the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was
Young love
