As the name implies, Ari happens to be travelling with a lover on the highway. She talks about his “haunting eyes”, and problems that have happened between them, such as “I know we ended things a week ago”
The music video for this song has been released on the 25th of September 2017 and is directed...
[Intro]
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ooh
Yeah
[Chorus]
Purple in the sky
Cruising Highway 85
Thought I saw a shooting star
Beaming in your haunting eyes
[Verse 1]
Herbie Hancock on my radio
Ooh, let's pull over for the liquor store
Cop some Skittles and some Crown Royal
I know we ended things a week ago
Baby, fall into me slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't keep your love on me
No, no love on me
On that night drive
Ooh, you're so fine
[Chorus]
Purple in the sky
Cruising highway 85 (Ooh)
Thought I saw a shooting star
Beaming in your haunting eyes (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I said now baby we can disappear
AWOL like we are some fugitives
Liberation, oh so cavalier
Ooh, baby take me far away from here
Baby, you know I'm sincere
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't keep your love on me
No, no love on me
On that night drive
Ooh, you're so fine
[Chorus]
Purple in the sky
Cruising highway 85
Thought I saw a shooting star
Beaming in your haunting eyes
[Outro]
Ooh, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
