lyrics

Don't you dare tell this to anyone
I kept the photographs
They got stained by lighter fluid
But I could never bring myself to strike that match

Wind at our backs
Windows down
Screaming hearts out on the highway
Dreaming of leaving our hometown

I met you at the end of the summer
We were dancing by the river we were dumb and we were younger then
Life was easy, but my darling it got harder
So I'm leaving here tomorrow
Taking the long way out of town

And I never felt so free
Laying in the backseat
Through a long Virginia summer
With your hair down in the park where we would meet

And we'd sing "Saturday"
Beneath the streetlights
I don't remember all the words
But I can still recall the rhythm of those nights
And I'll hold tight

I met you at the end of the summer
We were dancing by the river we were dumb and we were younger then
Life was easy, but my darling it got harder
So I'm leaving here tomorrow
Taking the long way out of town
