Well the sun went down, all storefronts shut They roll the sidewalks up around here It's just kids and the cops out after seven o'clock So you better had already bought your beer You cut your headlights off trying to not get caught She's out the window and across the yard She slid it into the seat, slow rolled it down the street 'Til you parked it and the stereo starts And they say Nothing good ever happens after midnight Maybe midnight's just misunderstood 'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight Why does it always feel so damn good Wrapped up so tight with me, no light All night, it was alright, alright You go as fast as you can, go as far as you want With nobody out to slow you down She was your rearview queen, you were her ghost street king While everybody was asleep in the town You watch the relights blink 'til the horizon's pink All while her daddy thinks she's still in her bed But when you're young and dumb The only rule of thumb was do the opposite of everything And they said, and they said Nothing good ever happens after midnight Maybe midnight's just misunderstood 'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight Why does it always feel so damn good Wrapped up so tight, your own paradise And the dashboard lights, alright, alright They say nothing good ever happens after midnight Maybe midnight's just misunderstood 'Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight Why did it always feel so damn good Wrapped up so tight with me, no light All night, it was alright, alright
