We drove right past

That no trespassin' sign

We sat on the tailgate

And watched the planes take off

We thought we had all night

There's no need to rush

That's when those cops came pullin' up

And I thought

Man, ain't this some shh

Your daddy's gonna kill me

But if I survive tonight

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy

But there was somethin' 'bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watchin' you

Goin' wild child

To be worried about goin' to jail

You were thinkin' that

Runnin' for it

Would make a good story

I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell

And you were so innocent

But you were stealin' my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

Man, they weren't playin'

They sure threw those cuffs on quick

You tried to sweet talk 'em

They didn't fall for it, but I did

You were on the left

I was on the right

I knew you didn't smoke

When you asked him for a light

And I laughed

He got mad and slammed the door

I swear your daddy's gonna kill me

But if I survive tonight

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy

But there was somethin' 'bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watchin' you

Goin' wild child

To be worried about goin' to jail

You were thinkin' that

Runnin' for it

Would make a good story

I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell

And you were so innocent

But you were stealin' my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, and you were like (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Side by side

And locked in tight

They were takin' their time

But we didn't mind

And we talked, and we laughed

We sat real close

By the time they let us go

I was already gone

But there was somethin' 'bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watchin' you

Goin' wild child

To be worried about goin' to jail

You were thinkin' that

Runnin' for it

Would make a good story

I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell

And you were so innocent

But you were stealin' my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I fell in love in the back of a cop car (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Side by side

And locked in tight

They were takin' their time

But we didn't mind

We talked, and we laughed

We sat real close

By the time they let us go

I was already gone (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I was already gone, baby (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I fell in love in the back of a cop car
