The night is gettin´ late, the crowd´s headed home It´s just you and me girl on the lake shore I know I just met you but I can´t let you go Forget about your friends, baby, I´ll drive you home (Yeah)
I´ll set you on the tailgate, we´ll take it nice and slow I know it ain´t your stop, but I won´t tell a soul, no
I know you gotta wake up for that nine to five But what´s the point of livin´, girl If you don´t feel alive?
We can sleep when we´re dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song ´Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin´ in the headlights Some day we might regret leavin´ that love out by the lake If you´re gettin´ tired honey, we´ll put that thought to bed
But we can sleep when we´re dead
Put your pretty arms around me, now get in nice and close Whisper in my ear what you´d like to know Now you can tell me ´bout your family, or tell me ´bout your day Or our lips can do the talking, let´s listen baby, what do you say?
I know it´s kinda crazy for a Tuesday night But sometimes a good thing don´t need time
We can sleep when we´re dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song ´Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin´ in the headlights
Some day we might regret leavin´ that love out by the lake If you´re gettin´ tired honey, we´ll put that thought to bed
With a smile she pulled me to water Them southern girls, man, they just don´t get any hotter I said "No girl, got on my good jeans" She looked at me boy like "What do you mean?"
We can sleep when we´re dead, the night is still young Jump on in, let´s have a little fun Small town lovers, hot summer nights Out here swimmin´ in the moonlight Some day we might regret leavin´ this love out by the lake
But no matter what you do, don´t forget what we said We can sleep when we´re dead We can sleep when we´re dead, aww yeah We can sleep when we´re dead
