Give It All We Got Tonight
George Strait Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

July moonlight shines
Your pretty little head on my shoulder
Pull over on the side of the road
Oh my God, you're something
Like nothing I've ever seen
If I'm asleep girl, let me dream

Baby, fall into my kiss (my kiss)
It should just happen like this (like this)
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right (so right)
'Cause that's all we have in this life (this life)
Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight

Summer honeysuckle
Leaking through a rolled down window
We both know when that seat lays back
Anything can happen
So imagine it'll never end
Just close your eyes and you can see
That we are where we're meant to be

Baby, fall into my kiss (my kiss)
It should just happen like this (like this)
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right (so right)
'Cause that's all we have in this life (this life)
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Baby, fall into my kiss (my kiss)
It should just happen like this (like this)
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right (so right)
'Cause that's all we have in this life (this life)




Drink up this love, c'mon, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight
