Night Time Is the Right Time

[Verse 1]
Tailgate rattlin', cooler in the back
Dust on the tires, hat turned back
FM glow on your bare feet up
You laugh, say, “Baby, we’re too lit up”
[Chorus]
‘Cause night time is the right time
In my truck, just you and me
Chasin’ down the sun that we can’t see
Runnin’ every red light on this one-lane dream
Yeah, night time is the right time
Headlights off on a dirt-road run
Heartbeats louder than a loaded gun
Out here layin’ low, outrunnin’ what we done
Night time is the right time, chasin’ the sun
[Verse 2]
Blue lights flicker in the rearview glass
We cut left quick through the tall-cut grass
You slide over closer, whisper, “Drive”
Your hand on the wheel, keepin’ me alive
[Chorus]
‘Cause night time is the right time
In my truck, just you and me
Chasin’ down the sun that we can’t see
Runnin’ every red light on this one-lane dream
Yeah, night time is the right time
Headlights off on a dirt-road run
Heartbeats louder than a loaded gun
Out here layin’ low, outrunnin’ what we done
Night time is the right time, chasin’ the sun
[Bridge]
Got a glovebox full of bad decisions (oh yeah)
And a map we’ll never read
If the law comes lookin’, we’ll be long gone
Leavin’ tail lights tangled in the weeds
[Chorus]
Yeah, night time is the right time
In my truck, just you and me
Chasin’ down the sun that we can’t see
Runnin’ every red light on this one-lane dream
Oh, night time is the right time
Laughin’ while we out here on the run
Kissin’ every mile till the morning comes
Two crazy hearts, outrunnin’ what we done
Night time is the right time, chasin’ the sun
