Boot straps shovel in the mud
Ball cap make a couple bucks
For a blue jean baby on a Friday night (Friday night)
Wastin' gas in a Chevy Nova
Next to you, Shenandoah
Red lipstick, red light kiss, that's the life (that's the life)
Yeah, that's the life we live in this town
Lightin' it up, burnin' it down
Hands up with the stars up in the sky (in the sky)
Gettin' lost in a deep blue pair of eyes
On a back half acre of paradise
On a night just like tonight, yeah, that's the life (that's the life)
That's the life I'm gonna live 'til I'm gone
That's the back road you can find me on
That's all I need, that's right, that's the life (that's the life)
It's a drive-in matinée
It's an oak tree carve your name
It's a blanket in the bleachers while the tigers play
Yeah, I'll take that life anyway
Yeah, that's the life we live in this town
Lightin' it up, burnin' it down
Hands up with the stars up in the sky (in the sky)
Gettin' lost in a deep blue pair of eyes
On a back half acre of paradise
On a night just like tonight, yeah, that's the life (that's the life)
That's the life I'm gonna live 'til I'm gone
That's the back road you can find me on
That's all I need, that's right, that's the life (that's the life)
No other place for you and me
Young and reckless, wild and free
No other place for you and me
Young and reckless, wild and free
Yeah, that's the life we live in this town
Lightin' it up, burnin' it down
Hands up with the stars up in the sky (in the sky)
Gettin' lost in a deep blue pair of eyes
On a back half acre of paradise
On a night just like tonight, yeah, that's the life (that's the life)
That's the life I'm gonna live 'til I'm gone
That's the back road you can find me on
That's all I need, that's right, that's the life (that's the life)
No other place for you and me
Young and reckless, wild and free
No other place for you and me
Young and reckless, wild and free
