[Verse 1]
Keys in my palm, baby
Fresh off the line
Candy apple red
And it sure looks fine
Whitewalls shining
Like a cherry on top
I pulled that lever
And I couldn’t stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody stared
When I rolled by slow
Heard that little engine
Like a “let’s go”
[Chorus]
Candy apple red
Take a little ride
Candy apple red
Got my baby by my side
Turn them heads
As we glide
Candy apple red
For the first joy ride
[Verse 2]
I swung by your porch
You were waiting there
Pearls on your neck
And a teasing grin to wear
You slid in close
Said, “Where we going, hon?”
I said, “Baby, anywhere”
And we were gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Down that strip
With the windows low
People waved and smiled
As we put on a show
[Chorus]
Candy apple red
Take a little ride
Candy apple red
Got my baby by my side
Turn them heads
As we glide
Candy apple red
For the first joy ride
[Bridge]
We found the hill
Where the whole town fades
Parked up high
In the sunset haze
You leaned in close
Said, “Don’t move fast”
I kissed your hand
And let that moment last
[Chorus]
Candy apple red
Take a little ride
Candy apple red
Got my baby by my side
Turn them heads
As we glide
Candy apple red
For the first joy ride
[Outro]
Parked to watch the sky
Burn gold and slow
Candy apple red
And I don’t wanna go
(eh-hey)
