Screechin' to a halt in front of your house
The front door opened and your momma peeked out
I saw your silhouette brushin' your long hair
Any minute now you'd be slippin' downstairs
We were rarin' to go and the night was young
It was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of livin' and lovin' under the gun
Oh, it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
We had the whole town bettin' on what we'd do
They'd already seen how I looked at you
We'd hit the ground runnin' for the county line
'Cause the band was crankin' up about that time
We never missed a beat of that rock 'n roll drum
It was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of livin' and lovin' under the gun
Oh, it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
We'd tear ourselves away 'round about midnight
Steal a few kisses in a patch of moonlight
I knew your daddy waited up till I got you home
But it was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of livin' and lovin' under the gun
Oh, it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
It was paradise from nine to one
Oh, it was paradise from nine to one
It was paradise from nine to one
