A sweet and peppy song about a Bonnie and Clyde-esk couple fleeing across the country in a stolen car after killing someone.
[Verse 1]
My daddy’s car, you know she’s built to last
And I take the corners hard and fast
If a way out is all you’re looking for
Well, shut your mouth and the passenger door
Go side by side, a thousand miles
It feels like nothing with you in shotgun
[Chorus]
Just like a bolt, we’re up the coast love
And where we go, we’ll make the most of
The love we got, cause it won’t be love for long
For right or wrong
[Verse 2]
Eyes on the road, windows rolled away
We keep our heads ducked down most days
But when you come running, say we gotta go
I don’t ask cause I already know
This time next year we’ll be so far from here
The wind behind us, oh how’ll they find us
[Chorus]
When like a bolt, we’re up the coast love
And where we go, we’ll make the most of
The love we got, cause it won’t be love for long
[Verse 3]
Your mama’s heart is surely bound to break
The day they finally drag up that lake
Science tells us bones won’t turn to mud
No matter how you wish that they would
Let ‘em come, I don’t care what you've done
We’ll fight like demons and leave them screaming
[Chorus]
