Yeah
I'm walking out my front door
I'm jumping in my car
Take another left on Main Street
Head right to where you are
I'm rolling down my window
Find a little spot to let go
Get a little good time gone
'Cause this is an all-nighter
A get-lost-with-you-running-through-every-red-light-er
Falling and feeling like a star right out of a midnight sky-er
Let the time fly by 'cause it's a finding her hand
Taking a chance, starting a fire, this is an all-nighter
Yes it is, baby, mm, yeah
We are gonna take that sunset
Make it turn the blue sky red
We can worry bout tomorrow
But what you say we live instead
Get a little dirt road dizzy
Let the moon shine on us
Getting all barefoot busy till the sun sneaks back up
'Cause we just can't get enough
'Cause this is an all-nighter
A get-lost-with-you-running-through-every-red-light-er
Falling and feeling like a star right out of a midnight sky-er
Let the time fly by 'cause it's a finding her hand
Taking a chance, starting a fire, this is an all-nighter
Ten o'clock kiss, twelve o'clock cruise
Take another sip, talk until two
This is a-never-gonna-have-to-say-goodby-er
This is an all-nighter
A get-lost-with-you-running-through-every-red-light-er
Falling and feeling like a star right out of a midnight sky-er
Let the time fly by 'cause it's a finding her hand
Taking a chance, jumping a fence, do it again, all-nighter, that's right
A get-lost-with-you-running-through-every-red-light-er
A falling and feeling like a star right out of a midnight sky-er
Let the time fly by 'cause it's a finding her hand
Taking a chance, starting a fire, this is an all-nighter
Yes it is, baby
This is an all-nighter

Jumping a fence, do it again, all-nighter, that's right
