I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of a circumstance Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside

Knock 'em dead, kid (Knock 'em dead!) In the heat of the night You went and blackened my eyes Well now I'm back And I'm coming your way

It's just whiskey under the bridge Ain't no big deal I've been burned, I've been cheated But this old heart's still beating All those nights of drinking Finally got me thinking Heartache is just a waste of time There's not a heart that ain't been broken

I want to rock with you (all night) Rock the night away You gotta feel that heat And we can ride the boogie Share that beat of love Dance you into day (sunlight) Rock you into day (sunlight) Girl, close your eyes Let that rhythm get into you

I went out looking for love when I was seventeen Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen Oh, seventeen (Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen) And he said age is just a number, just like any other

Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind Alone at night I feel so strange I need to find

Show you a side of these two lanes you've never seen Heating it up behind a high beam Ooh, baby you and me, just a-running down crazy Flying high, living careless, on the edge of wild and reckless Hold on tight, I'm 'bout to show you one hell of a night

Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love You know I like my chicken fried Well I was raised up

The hell raisin' heat of the summer We were livin' every minute of the night Like there might never be another We were runnin' all the caution lights We were learnin' to fly with a little tail gunner If there was somethin' to burn, we were burnin' it

The look of love So many nights like this Don't ever go Is in your eyes A look your smile can't Is saying so much more than Just words could every say
