Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
Your daddy's gonna kill me
But if I survive tonight
I wouldn't change one thing
Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Outro]
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
