Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I won't lie, you make a fool out of me

Got me rolling around on roller skates, tryna protect my needs

You thank God, I thank family

Oh, the real good liar about the way things seem (Yes)

[PreChorus]

I go out riding in my car

Everywhere you are, my star, star

Star, star, star, you lead me in the dark

Underneath the arch

To the old town bar where your car is parked

And this like

[Chorus]

There goes my sweet angel

Standing in her raincoat, singing

"Maybe all this change is just freedom"

Oh, no

[Verse 2]

(Yesh) I got love that you can't control

Like when the laughter takes hold

And it comes flying out your nose

And in this world where you're just not sure

Our love is gonna teach me how to rise above

[PreChorus]

I go out riding in my car

Everywhere you are, my star, star

Star, star, star, you lead me in the dark

Underneath the arch

To the old town bar where your car is parked

[Chorus]

There goes my sweet angel

Standing in her raincoat, singing

"Maybe all this change is just freedom"

Oh, no

[Bridge]

Then she grabbed my hand, shook it like a friend

And shouted into the wind

She said

[Bridge]

Let me go wild and rotten

Let me go wild and rotten

All of your big plans, forgotten

Let me go wild and rotten

[Bridge]

Yeah, then she grabbed my hand, and shook it like a friend

And left me there forgotten, mmm

[Outro]

Now, of course, I wanna go where the light is

But I was sure as hell you'd be the one to help me find it
