Keep It Between the Lines

(Verse 1)

Well she told me, “Boy, slow down,

You’re drivin’ way too fast.”

But the way she held the wheel,

Made me wanna make that moment last.

She whispered, “Take it gentle…

But don’t you dare pull back.”

And the way she bit her lip

Had me swervin’ off the track.

(Pre-Chorus)

She said, “You better keep it steady,

And hold on nice and tight…”

But the way she moved beside me

Had me losin’ all my pride.

(Chorus)

Oh, we keep it between the lines,

But baby, we ride that edge so fine.

Talkin’ ’bout things we never say,

Hands wanderin’ in a careful way.

Never crossin’ that forbidden sign—

But Lord knows what’s on our minds.

Yeah, we keep it between the lines…

Barely.

⸻

(Verse 2)

She leaned over in the moonlight,

Said, “I’ve got somethin’ you should feel.”

And my heart about stopped beatin’

When she slid it—

Right—

Onto the steering wheel.

She said, “Don’t worry, honey,

I’ll show you how it’s done…”

And the way she gripped that handle

Nearly made my engine run.

(Pre-Chorus)

She murmured, “Push a little harder,

But don’t you go too deep…”

I swear she almost broke me

When she whispered, “Now release.”

(Chorus)

Oh, we keep it between the lines,

But baby, we ride that edge so fine.

Sayin’ nothin’ dirty, not one word—

But every sound she makes is heard.

Never lettin’ that boundary slide—

But Lord knows what’s on our minds.

Yeah, we keep it between the lines…

Barely.

⸻

(Bridge)

She said, “Don’t tell nobody

What we did right here tonight…”

And technically we didn’t do nothin’—

But it sure didn’t feel that right.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Oh, we keep it between the lines,

Actin’ innocent by design.

Ain’t breakin’ rules, not crossin’ the tracks,

But we’re sure as hell bendin’ every one ’til it cracks.

Never said nothin’, never touched a crime—

But Lord knows what’s on our minds.

Yeah, we keep it between the lines…

Barely.
