  • Girl, I know I don't know you
    But your pretty little eyes so blue
    Are pulling me in like the moon on your skin
    I'm so glad you trusted me
    To slide up on this dusty seat
    And let your hair down, and get outta town

    Got the stars comin' out over my hood
    And all I know now is it's goin' good

    You got your hands up
    You're rockin' in my truck
    You got the radio on
    You're singin' every song
    I'm set on cruise control
    I'm slowly losin' hold
    Of everything I've got
    You're lookin' so damn hot
    And I don't know what road we're on
    Or where we've been
    From starin' at you, girl
    All I know is I don't want this night to end

    Gonna cuss the mornin' when it comes
    'Cause I know that the risin' sun
    Ain't no good for me 'cause you'll have to leave
    Gonna make the most of every mile
    Do anything to make your smile
    Land on my lips, get drunk on your kiss

    Clock on the dash says 3:35
    There's plenty of gas and the night's still alive

    You got your hands up
    You're rockin' in my truck
    You got the radio on
    You're singin' every song
    I'm set on cruise control
    I'm slowly losin' hold
    Of everything I've got
    You're lookin' so damn hot
    And I don't know what road we're on
    Or where we've been
    From starin' at you, girl
    All I know is I don't want this night to end

    You got your hands up
    You're rockin' in my truck
    You got the radio on
    You're singin' every song
    I'm set on cruise control
    I'm slowly losin' hold
    Of everything I've got
    You're lookin' so damn hot
    And I don't know what road we're on
    Or where we've been
    From starin' at you, girl
    All I know is I don't want this night to end

    I don't want this night to end
    No, I don't want this night to end Writer/s: Benjamin Scott Hayslip, Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins, Thomas Luther Bryan
