After Midnight

When the sun went down

All storefronts shut

They roll the sidewalks up around here

It's just kids and cops

Out after 7 o'clock

So you better had already bought your beer

You cut your headlight off

Trying to not get caught

She's out the window and across the yard

She slid it into the seat

Slow rolled it down the street

Till you parked it and stereo starts

And they say

Nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why did it always feel so d**n good

Wrapped up so tight with me

No light all night

It was alright alright

You go as far as you can

Go as far as you want

With nobody out to slow you down

She was your rearview queen

You were her go street king

While everybody was asleep in the town

You watch the red lights blink

All while her daddy thinks she's still in her bed

But when you're young and dumb

The only rule of thumb was do the opposite of everything

They said and they said

Nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why did it always feel so d**n good

Wrapped up so tight

Your own paradise

And the dashboard lights

Alright alright

They say nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why did it always feel so d**n good

Wrapped up so tight with me

No light all night

It was alright alright
