sirens
Lee Brice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just remember her tan legs standin' on the side of the road
Honda with the hood up, covered in smoke
A thumb in the air, with somewhere to go in a hurry
She didn't say a thing, she just jumped inside
Stuck a gun to my chest and told me to drive
I was scared but she was beautiful, like a movie
She kept lookin' back like somethin' was comin'
Said, "we ain't slowin' down, ain't stoppin' for nothin'"
My truck was shakin', my blood was pumpin'
But she was laughin'
I about hit the brakes when we came around the corner
A mile of blue lights, guns aimed and pointed
Whatever she had is what they wanted
And it's all a little fuzzy after that

All I remember is sirens
Blue lights flashin' and drivin'
Dirt lane passin' and flyin'
Tearin' through the red lights
Blowin' through the stop signs
All I remember is sirens
Ringin' from the gun shots firin'
One curve away from dyin'
Yeah, all I remember is
Sirens

The man on the radio reported the chase
And all about the beauty
How she cleaned out the bank
She was armed and dangerous
And almost got away but they found her
She was cussin' at choppers
They were swirlin' around
Reloadin' her revolver every couple-a rounds
Shot off a couple shots
But they wouldn't back down

All I remember is sirens
Blue lights flashin' and drivin'
Dirt lane passin' and flyin'
Tearin' through the red lights
Blowin' through the stop signs
All I remember is sirens
Ringin' from the gun shots firin'
One curve away from dyin'
Really, all I remember is
Sirens
Yeah (sirens)

We were all out of road and I knew she could tell
'Cause she leaned across my lap and buckled my belt
And kissed me on the cheek, said
"Thanks for the help, hold on, boy"
Well, she yanked the wheel and I held my breath
We flipped so many times we shoulda been dead
And that's all I got
And I just woke up here and I said

All I remember is sirens
Blue lights flashin' and drivin'
Dirt lane passin' and flyin'
Tearin' through the red lights
Blowin' through the stop signs
All I remember is sirens
Blue lights flashin' and smilin'
One curve away from dyin'
All I remember is
Sirens, ooh
Sirens
And her blue eyes flashin'

And those long legs standin' on the side of the road




Her Honda with the hood up, covered in smoke
Thumb in the air, somewhere to go in a hurry
