Sleep When We're Dead

The night is gettin' late, the crowd's headed home

It's just you and me, girl, on the lake shore

I know I just met you but I can't let you go

Forget about your friends, baby, I'll drive you home, yeah

I'll set you on the tailgate, we'll take it nice and slow

I know it ain't your stop, but I won't tell a soul, no

I know you gotta wake up for that nine to five

But what's the point of livin', girl, if you don't feel alive?

We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young

Pour another drink, talk that song

'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights

Midnight dancin' in the headlights

Some day, we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake

If you're gettin' tired, honey, we'll put that thought to bed

But we can sleep when we're dead

Put your pretty arms around me, now get in nice and close

Whisper in my ear what you'd like to know

Now, you can tell me 'bout your family or tell me 'bout your day

Or our lips can do the talking, let's listen, baby, what do you say?

I know it's kinda crazy for a Tuesday night

But sometimes, a good thing don't need time

We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young

Pour another drink, talk that song

'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights

Midnight dancin' in the headlights

Some day, we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake

If you're gettin' tired, honey, we'll put that thought to bed

With a smile, she pulled me to the water

Them southern girls, man, they just don't get any hotter

I said, "No, girl, got on my good jeans"

She looked at me, boy like, "What do you mean?"

We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young

Jump on in, let's have a little fun

Small town lovers, hot summer nights

Out here swimmin' in the moonlight

Some day, we might regret leavin' this love out by the lake

But no matter what you do, don't forget what we said

We can sleep when we're dead

We can sleep when we're dead, aww, yeah

We can sleep when we're dead
