A Little While

[Verse 1]
Dog days of July, leaning in the dusk
The stubborn summer sun finally givin' up
My hands around the wheel, her arms around my neck
Just one way to go, straight ahead

[Verse 2]
I'll call the girl Louise 'cause we all need a name
We'll say her eyes were blue but it's all the same
Time looked the other way for a little while
She made me laugh, I made her smile

[Chorus 1]
Come on out tonight, I'll be waitin' for ya
Stand beneath the streetlights, I'll read your fortune
It won't mattеr if it's right, it'll all ring true
For a little while

[Verse 3]
I rеmember when the world was black and white
I don't mean photographs, I'm talkin' life
It was all an open road, it was all we had to do
I might've loved that girl, she might've loved me too
She'd stretch out on the hood, and me, I'd strike a match
Blow a little smoke, and that was that

[Chorus 2]
Well, baby, I'm the king, I'll take you far
Baby, who needs wings? I've got a fast car
And I'm up for anything, there's nothing here to lose
For a little while

[Chorus 1]
Come on out tonight, I'll be waitin' for ya
Stand beneath the streetlights, you can read my fortune
It won't matter if it's right, it'll all ring true
For a little while

[Refrain]
For a little while
