Sunset drippin’ off a tailgate sky
Boots in the dirt and a cold one nearby
Wind’s got secrets blowin’ through her hair
She laughs like freedom, man I swear
Pre-Chorus
Every small town’s got a neon queen
Livin’ wild in her faded jeans
Chorus
Oh, them lovely ladies, lightin’ up the night
Dancin’ in the headlights, feelin’ just right
Hearts like fire, never gonna fade
Yeah, they’re the reason these songs get played
Lovely ladies, wild and free
A little bit of heaven on a backroad breeze
Verse 2
Saw one spinnin’ by a pickup bed
Singing every word that the radio said
Another winked with a whiskey smile
Stayed in my head for a country mile
Pre-Chorus
They don’t need no diamond rings
Just a six-string and some midnight dreams
Chorus
Oh, them lovely ladies, lightin’ up the night
Dancin’ in the headlights, feelin’ just right
Hearts like fire, never gonna fade
Yeah, they’re the reason these songs get played
Lovely ladies, wild and free
A little bit of heaven on a backroad breeze
Bridge
Yeah, they roll like thunder, soft like rain
Leave a little sunshine, take away the pain
Ain’t no road too long when they’re around
They turn every lost boy homeward bound
Final Chorus
Oh, them lovely ladies, lightin’ up the night
Burnin’ like a bonfire, bold and bright
Hearts like fire, never gonna fade
Yeah, they’re the reason these songs get played
Lovely ladies, wild and free
Still ridin’ shotgun in my memory
Outro
Yeah, just a song and an old guitar
And a few sweet names under the stars…
