[Verse 1]
Got my hair slicked back
White tee, cuffed blue jeans
Chrome so clean it makes
The streetlights lean
You walk by in that
Red scarf, swingin’ free
All my friends rev up
But you glance at me (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
This is our malt shop showdown
Two straws in one glass, slow down
Every drag race, every dance
Just to get one more chance
You can spin that skirt, I’ll spin this car
But I’m only chasin’ you, not stars
From the drive-in lot to the jukebox start
I’m burnin’ up this town to win your heart
[Verse 2]
Johnny’s revvin’ loud
Betting pink slips, cool
But you’re by the door
Tappin’ shoes in time, sweet fuel
Vanilla shake, your laugh
Over cherry gloss
I’d trade every checkered flag
To never take that loss (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is our malt shop showdown
Two straws in one glass, slow down
Every drag race, every dance
Just to get one more chance
You can spin that skirt, I’ll spin this car
But I’m only chasin’ you, not stars
From the drive-in lot to the jukebox start
I’m burnin’ up this town to win your heart
[Bridge]
Let ‘em line up, let ‘em brag
Let the tires brag too (oh)
They can race for trophies
I’m just racin’ back to you
Meet me by that corner booth
Where the cherry lights glow
If you take my hand tonight
I’ll let the whole track go
[Chorus]
This is our malt shop showdown
Two straws in one glass, slow down
Every drag race, every dance
Just to get one more chance
You can spin that skirt, I’ll spin this car
But I’m only chasin’ you, not stars
From the drive-in lot to the jukebox start
I’m burnin’ up this town to win your heart (oh yeah)
