Burnin' 18 Lyrics

She was a southern boy's dream
Tan legs and baby blues
Young wild and 18
In a town with nothing to do
I was a reckless boy
A boot bottle and a tank of gas
And we learned real quick
How to burn it and tip it on back

And we were in the bed of that Chevy
With nothing on but our favorite station
We were all caught up in the heat of love and that summer vacation
The beer was cold, the days were hot
And we were lighting that spark every chance we got
But that fire goes out quicker than you think
When you're burnin' 18
(Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night, baby we're burnin'
Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night)

Her daddy hated my guts
And her mama felt the same
Told her I was nothing but trouble
And all they did was push her away
Around midnight, every night
I'd stop at the end of her drive
She'd climb on out that window
Light a cigarette and we'd take a ride

And we were in the bed of that Chevy
With nothing on but our favorite station
We were all caught up in the heat of love and that summer vacation
The beer was cold, the days were hot
And we were lighting that spark every chance we got
But that fire goes out quicker than you think
When you're burnin' 18
(Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night, baby we're burnin'
Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night)

I wish that I could go back to that time in my mind
When I was yours
And you were mine

In the bed of that Chevy
With nothing on but our favorite station
We were all caught up in the heat of love and that summer vacation
The beer was cold, the days were hot
And we were lighting that spark every chance we got
But that fire goes out quicker than you think
When you're burnin' 18, 18
(Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night, baby we're burnin'
Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night
Windows down, hearts are turning
We light up the night, we light up the night)
