[Intro]
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na
[Chorus]
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the happy end is me and my girlfriend
[Verse 1]
Where would you be, be without me?
We'll never find out
What would I do, do without you?
We'll never know now
Talking 'bout the lights, the dirt, the s*** that hurts
We're not gonna turn around
We're doing this for good, for worse
The gift, the curse, we're not gonna back down
[Chorus]
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the happy end is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the happy end is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
[Verse 2]
I wanna feel the sun, the waves, the wind in my face
The speed, the chase, na-na, na-na
I wanna feel the sun, the waves, just wanna cross states
Make it up as we go
That's how's gon' be
Young, wild, and free
Not gonna slow down
Up to the max, until we crush
We're not gonna stop now
[Chorus]
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the happy end is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
[Intro]
Na-na, na-na
Me and my girlfriend
Na-na, na-na
Me and my girlfriend
[Chorus]
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
Down to ride 'til the happy end is me and my girlfriend
Me and my girlfriend
