Girl in It

At the car wash on the corner

There's a boy about seventeen

Spending every ashtray quarter

Trying to get that Chevy clean

If he plays his cards right

By 8 o'clock tonight

There'll be a girl in it

And he'll put on a slow one

She'll play hard to get

Make him work all night

For that front porch kiss

When he goes home to sleep

And drifts into a dream

There'll be a girl in it

They're why they make porch swings and half carat rings

Carolina sunsets and California Kings

If your heart's on fire

If everything's spinning

If you're going out of your mind

I bet there's a girl in it

There's a Romeo in an airport

Dozen roses in his hand

Waiting by the window

For that big ol' bird to land

'Cause that 737

Dropping down from Heaven's

Got a girl in it

They're why they make porch swings and half carat rings

Carolina sunsets and California Kings

If your heart's on fire

If everything's spinning

If you're going out of your mind

I bet there's a girl in it

Ooh, yeah

There's a fool on a bar stool

Soaking up regret

Knows he oughta slow down

But he ain't done it yet

'Cause there's something in that glass

That makes him forget the past

With that girl in it

They're why they make JD and neon lights

Smoke rolling slow while that sad steel slides

If your heart's on fire

If everything's spinning

If you're going out of your mind

I bet there's a girl in it

A girl in it
