Ya had the headlights off so no one could see
Ya sneakin' up the driveway; I was 'bout seventeen
Waitin' there for you at the window 'round midnight


Smilin', arms wide open, runnin' 'cross the lawn
That crazy dog barkin' like a fire alarm

I jumped in the car and said, "Boy, you'd better fly"

You said, "Don't you worry, had a story to tell

"'Cause if we got caught, we were gonna catch hell
"But I'd pay any price for that look in your eyes"


When we ran like wild horses through the night
Stickin' to the back roads and stayin outta sight
Makin' the most of what little time we had left

How sweet it is, how sweet it was
Young love


Not a cloud in the sky, only the heavens and us
That ole radio singin', the tires kickin' up dust
Oh, in all my years, I don't think I've known a better night


Faded jeans layin' in a field on the ground
You and me smilin' rollin' 'round and 'round

In all my life, don't think I've held on quite as tight

We ran outta time with the rise of the dawn

Autumn was a-callin' for us to move on
And now, I only see you on a memory or two


When we ran like wild horses through the night
Stickin' to the back roads and stayin outta sight
Makin' the most of what little time we had left

How sweet it is, how sweet it was

Makin' the most of what little time we had left

How sweet it is, how sweet it was
Young love


Young love, yeah
