[Verse 1]
’98 Ram
Faded red
Lift kit leanin’
Bench seat ripped
Floorboard full of cans and feelin’
Tailgate rattlin’
Mud still caked from last weekend
Bonfire callin’
And I’m already late again
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ midnight to the bonfire
Right foot heavy
Heart on tilt
That 1500 breathin’ like a wild wire
Paint all scratched and promise-built
Blue lights lurkin’ in the rearview glass
But I ain’t tappin’ on the brake or gasin’ past
Just a backroad outlaw
Dirt halo higher
Tryna make it to the flames
Midnight to the bonfire (woo)
[Verse 2]
County line sign
Buzzin’ by like a stray thought
CB crackle
“Boy
You better not get caught”
Spot a cruiser
Ease up
Duck under the dash
Cut across the field
Kickin’ up a comet trail of grass
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ midnight to the bonfire
Right foot heavy
Heart on tilt
That 1500 breathin’ like a wild wire
Paint all scratched and promise-built
Blue lights lurkin’ in the rearview glass
But I ain’t tappin’ on the brake or gasin’ past
Just a backroad outlaw
Dirt halo higher
Tryna make it to the flames
Midnight to the bonfire
[Bridge]
Dust in my teeth
Laugh on my lips (oh yeah)
Camo hat low
Bottle by my hip
If they ask later
“Boy
What were you thinkin’ of?”
I’ll say
“Cold beer
Loud friends
And that girl I almost love”
[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ midnight to the bonfire
Right foot heavy
Heart on tilt
That 1500 breathin’ like a wild wire
Paint all scratched and promise-built
Blue lights dancin’ in the rearview glass
I throw a wave as they go flyin’ past
Just a backroad outlaw
Dirt halo higher
Parked it sideways at the flames
Made it to the bonfire (yeah)
