Bad Boys
Dead-Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's ragged on the edge, she's keepin' him holdin' out hope
She's a front pew hallelujah, drop another twenty in the plate
He's on the back row, little hungover, 'bout twenty minutes late
She's a good girl, sky blue turquoise
Fallin' for a bad boy, drivin' that Detroit
Big block, cruisin' up the blacktop
Comin' for a good girl, countin' down the sunset
Never been broke heart, racin' like a Corvette
Got a little wildfire burin' in her angel eyes
Probaly ain't never been lost after midnight
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
Well she's sundress cotton, he's grease on a Carhartt shirt
She's a candle in the wind, he's a light it up and let it burn
And every time she's with him all she wants to do is kiss him
Starts thinkin' maybe she can fix him and he's thinkin' he'd love to let her try
She's a good girl, sky blue turquoise
Fallin' for a bad boy, drivin' that Detroit
Big block, cruisin' up the blacktop
Turnin' up a corn row, scarecrow, farm house, gravel road
Comin' for a good girl, countin' down the sunset
Never been broke heart, racin' like a Corvette
Got a little wildfire burin' in her angel eyes
Probaly ain't never been lost after midnight
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
And every time she's with him
She knows she probably oughta quit him
But he don't wanna let her get away
She's a good girl, sky blue turquoise
Fallin' for a bad boy, drivin' that Detroit
Big block, cruisin' up the blacktop
Turnin' up a corn row, scarecrow, farm house, gravel road
Comin' for a good girl, countin' down the sunset
Never been broke heart, racin' like a Corvette
Got a little wildfire burin' in her angel eyes
Probaly ain't never been lost after midnight
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
Tryin' to be a good girl, but fallin' for a bad boy
Yeah
She's so good, she's so good, she's so good
She's so good, she's so good, she's so good
She's so good, she's so good, she's so good, but fallin' for a bad boy
