[Verse 1]
You stole the keys from your older brother’s drawer
We piled in laughing, three coats on the floor
The diner was closing, so we split one slice
Then took the long way past the county line
[Pre-Chorus]
Your red scarf snapped in the November air
You said, “Keep driving, there’s nowhere to be”
[Chorus]
That was the night we outran the morning
Singing too loud with the windows down
Your hand in mine at the edge of the county
Swore we’d remember this when we left this town
And I do, I do
Every mile still comes back to me
That was the night you were right there with me
[Verse 2]
We found a payphone beside the bowling lanes
Called your best friend just to say her name
The sunrise caught us by the water tower
With borrowed gas and an hour to spare
[Pre-Chorus]
You drew a crooked heart on the fogged-up glass
Said, “Promise me this won’t be our last”
[Chorus]
That was the night we outran the morning
Singing too loud with the windows down
Your hand in mine at the edge of the county
Swore we’d remember this when we left this town
And I do, I do
Every mile still comes back to me
That was the night you were right there with me
[Bridge]
Years later, I still know that road
The busted sign, the bridge we crossed
If you ever wonder where that kid went
He’s in that car, still singing along
[Final Chorus]
That was the night we outran the morning
Singing too loud with the windows down
Your hand in mine at the edge of the county
Swore we’d remember this when we left this town
And I do, I do
Every mile still comes back to me
That was the night you were right there with me
That was the night you were right there with me
[Outro]
You were right there with me
