[Verse One:]
Friday night, dash light
Lovers on the Levy Road
Eighteen high beams, watching that Missouri flow
I don't know what your plans are but, baby, let's make some
We can't hang around this place forever, no[Chorus:]
'Cause even the river runs around the bend
Ain't coming back 'til I can't say when
Hitching a ride like a couple of friends
Turning the page, riding the wave
Yeah, we gotta run like an old Mustang
Nothing but you and a tank of high octane
Hearing that engine hum
Yeah, we gotta run[Verse Two:]
Been watching that water pass by here all my life
Baby, when you kissed me, it finally hit me tonight
Just what that old man's always been saying
Ever since I was young
Can't hang around this place forever, no[Chorus:]
'Cause even the river runs around the bend
Ain't coming back 'til I can't say when
Hitching a ride like a couple of friends
Turning the page, riding the wave
Yeah, we gotta run like an old Mustang
Nothing but you and a tank of high octane
Hearing that engine hum
Yeah, we gotta run[Verse Three:]
Friday night, dash light
Lovers on the Levy Road
Eighteen high beams, watching that Missouri flow[Chorus:]
'Cause even the river runs around the bend
Ain't coming back 'til I can't say when
Hitching a ride like a couple of friends
Turning the page, riding the wave
Yeah, we gotta run like an old Mustang
Nothing but you and a tank of high octane
Hearing that engine hum
Yeah, we gotta run (x?)
