Four dead strings on a six string guitar
Playing Jimmy Buffet covers in an Ohio bar
Yeah, I met her slinging drinks, filling up her tip jar
I felt like Clyde with Bonnie in my car
We were two dollar lighters, blowing smoke in the sky
You don't think about tomorrow when you feel that alive
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
And we loved, and we laughed and it came on strong
And went by too fast (hey!)
♪
We be just getting started, come closing time
Sweep the floor, lock the door, leave the world behind
Two villains on the run, out searching for a thrill
With nothing to lose, and nothing but time to kill
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
Yeah, we stole that summer like runaway thieves
♪
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Uh, uh, uh, oh
Well the last I heard, she was livin' on the coast
That summer with her was the one I love the most
And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong
And went by too fast (yeah)
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer, like runaway thieves

Oh, oh, oh
And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong
And went by too fast
