There is no one else around

The road is quiet the only sound

Is wind that sounds like cars, that sound like breathing

The desert air is hot and dry

Two lanes weaving earth and sky

The stars are all that's keeping time 'til morning

And I turn and look beside me

And you're sleeping like a baby

And the way you look tonight

Fast asleep in the dashboard light

We're ten years older, I know we are

Than the night we met in that downtown bar
G G/F# C
You thought I was some kind of star, that's what you said

I felt your skin, I felt the heat
Em C
As you pulled me out into the street
G G/F# C
And you kissed me there 'til I was weak, 'cause I asked you to
G G/F#
Later on, on your kitchen floor
Em C
Two flights above the grocery store

I felt things I never felt before, and I still do

Going eighty on the highway

But the way I feel tonight

Open your eyes, oh, and look at me and look at me

Before ere this ten year night is through
