[Verse 1]

We drove right past that no trespassing sign

We sat on the tailgate and watched the planes take off

We thought we had all night, there was no need to rush

That's when those cops came pulling up

And I thought

Man, ain't this some sh—

[Pre-Chorus]

Your daddy's gonna kill me

But if I survive tonight

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy

[Chorus]

But there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin'

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you going wild child

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that running for it would make a good story

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

You were so innocent, but you were stealing my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

[Verse 2]

Man, they weren't playin', they sure put those cuffs on quick

You tried to sweet talk 'em, they didn't fall for it, but I did

You were on the left, I was on the right

I knew you didn't smoke when you asked him for a light

And I laughed

He got mad and slammed the door

[Pre-Chorus]

I swear your daddy's gonna kill me

But if I survive tonight

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy

[Chorus]

But there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin'

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you going wild child

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that running for it would make a good story

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

You were so innocent, but you were stealing my heart

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

[Post-Chorus]

(Oh-woah-oh)

And you were like

(Oh-woah-oh)

[Bridge]

Side by side and locked in tight

They were taking their time, but we didn't mind

And we talked and we laughed, we sat real close

By the time they let us go

I was already gone

I was already gone, baby, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin'

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

And I was too busy watching you going wild child

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that running for it would make a good story

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

But you were so innocent, but you were stealing my heart

I fell in love in the back the back the cop car

[Outro]

(Oh-woah-oh)

(I fell in love in the back of a cop car)

You were like woah-oh-oh

And you were like (Oh-woah-oh)

(And you were like)

(Oh-woah-oh)
