Friday night drive.

Verse 1
Clock hit five and the dust rolled off
Steel-toe boots on the blacktop lot
You leaned in laughing, keys in your hand
Said, “Let’s get lost, don’t need a plan”
Sun sinking low on a two-lane line
Radio humming something just right
You slid in close like you always do
Said, “Boy, tonight it’s me and you”
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a crowd, don’t need a show
Just a full tank and somewhere to go
Chorus
Let’s take a Friday night drive
Windows down, let it all slide
Headlights cutting through the dark
Your hand on mine, that’s where it starts
We ain’t chasing neon lights
We got everything we need tonight
Just a little bit of you by my side
On a Friday night drive
Verse 2
Backroad curves and gravel turns
Engine humming while the sky still burns
You throw your head back, hair in the wind
That kind of smile pulls me in
No big plans, no fancy scene
Just you and me and gasoline
You lean over, whisper low
“Don’t slow down, just let it roll”
Pre-Chorus
I don’t run fast, I don’t play games
But I’d drive all night if you say my name
Chorus
Let’s take a Friday night drive
Windows down, let it all slide
Headlights cutting through the dark
Your hand on mine, that’s where it starts
We ain’t chasing neon lights
We got everything we need tonight
Just a little bit of you by my side
On a Friday night drive
Bridge (easy lift, not belt)
No destination on the dash
Just a moment we don’t wanna pass
If this road never ends, that’s fine
Long as you’re riding shotgun in mine
Final Chorus
Let’s take a Friday night drive
Windows down, let it all slide
Headlights cutting through the dark
Your hand on mine, that’s where it starts
We ain’t chasing neon lights
We got everything we need tonight
Just a little bit of you by my side
On a Friday night drive...
