Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bottle rockets in a coffee can
Duct-taped fuse in my right blue jean
You’re barefoot on the tailgate
Laughing
Calling me a small-town dream
Cherry cola sweating in your hand
Old T-shirt said “Band I’ve never seen”
You draw a heart in the truck bed dust
Say
“Light it up
Let’s burn eighteen”
[Chorus]
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Blowing up the dead-end dark
You were cherry cola on my tongue
Girl
Buzzing like a midnight spark
Yeah
We swore this broken county line
Couldn’t hold our hungry hearts
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Falling
Still calling it art (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Dashboard shaking
Busted speaker hum
Your knee rode the rhythm of my cheap cassette
You yelled every word like a war cry
Turned my bad plans into a better bet
Stole a “For Sale” sign for a souvenir
Hung it crooked by your bedroom door
You said
“If we leave
We ain’t coming back”
I said
“Baby
That’s what roads are for”
[Chorus]
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Blowing up the dead-end dark
You were cherry cola on my tongue
Girl
Buzzing like a midnight spark
Yeah
We swore this broken county line
Couldn’t hold our hungry hearts
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Falling
Still calling it art
[Bridge]
Do you ever drive past that rusted gate
Hear my name under your breath? (oh)
Do you taste that cheap July again
And feel your pulse out-running death?
’Cause every time that summer hits
I’m back there losing gravity
You’re on my hood
Sky on fire
Like God took notes from you and me
[Chorus]
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Blowing up the dead-end dark
You were cherry cola on my tongue
Girl
Buzzing like a midnight spark
Yeah
We swore this broken county line
Couldn’t hold our hungry hearts
We were red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
Fading
Still blazing my heart (hey!)
Yeah
Red-hot
Wild-shot
Bottle rockets
You and me
Tearing apart
