The night is gettin' late, the crowd's headed home It's just you and me girl on the lake shore I know I just met you but I can't let you go Forget about your friends, baby, I'll drive you home (yeah) I'll set you on the tailgate, we'll take it nice and slow I know it ain't your stop, but I won't tell a soul, no I know you gotta wake up for that nine to five But what's the point of livin', girl If you don't feel alive? We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song 'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin' in the headlights Some day we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake If you're gettin' tired honey, we'll put that thought to bed But we can sleep when we're dead Put your pretty arms around me, now get in nice and close Whisper in my ear what you'd like to know Now you can tell me 'bout your family, or tell me 'bout your day Or our lips can do the talking, let's listen baby, what do you say? I know it's kinda crazy for a Tuesday night But sometimes a good thing don't need time We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Pour another drink, talk that song 'Bout small town lovers, hot summer nights Midnight dancin' in the headlights Some day we might regret leavin' that love out by the lake If you're gettin' tired honey, we'll put that thought to bed With a smile she pulled me to water Them southern girls, man, they just don't get any hotter I said: No girl, got on my good jeans She looked at me boy like: What do you mean? We can sleep when we're dead, the night is still young Jump on in, let's have a little fun Small town lovers, hot summer nights Out here swimmin' in the moonlight Some day we might regret leavin' this love out by the lake But no matter what you do, don't forget what we said We can sleep when we're dead We can sleep when we're dead, aww yeah We can sleep when we're dead
