Every Red Light Lyrics

That secondhand junkyard heap Was freedom with two bucket seats With two grand on the windshield in shoe polish
I had a stash of summer cash From cleanin' pools and cuttin' grass Gave the man that coffee can and I bought it
From the moment that I turned the key My right foot was heavy From a mile away folks could hear me Leanin' on that Chevy
Slidin' sideways through the town square Peelin' out, Bruce Springsteen turned up too loud Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash Only brakin' for the badge
Had the man in blue burnin' through Tickets by the pound Yeah, I paid for every red light In my hometown
I still remember Jessie Lynn Her sweet perfume and her poured in Those faded jeans that always fit just right
Steamin' windows up on the riverbank Had to get that V-8 cranked To have her on the front porch by midnight
Catchin' air on railroad tracks Detroit horses breathin' Peelin' paint off of city hall Fuzz buster screamin'
Slidin' sideways through the town square Peelin' out Lynyrd Skynyrd turned up too loud Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash Only brakin' for the badge
Had the man in blue burnin' through Tickets by the pound Yeah, I paid for every red light In my hometown
I burned up a hundred tires Turnin' blacktop into gravel Wore out my daddy's patience And the judge's gavel
Slidin' sideways through the town square Peelin' out, I can't drive 55 [Incomprehensible] Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash Only brakin' for the badge
Had the man in blue burnin' through Tickets by the pound Yeah, I paid for every red light In my hometown
