Classic Cars

I’m obsessed with classic cars, pin up girls and all the stars
And scenery you see in those road movies.
In my mind we drive all night we leave the hwy behind until those Vegas lights,
Rise up out of the desert to gleam in your eyes.
And on the radio,
Elvis soft and slow,
And a montage scene,
The girls I used to know.

Baby I’ll tell you this,
You were so different from the rest,
You make everything come alive.
We’d go racing on the backstreets,
Trade in our hopes and dreams for the thrill of the backseat,
If the credits roll right now I will be satisfied.

She’s in love with the city lights, loves to get out into the city night,
And if you give her a chance, she’d dance all night.
She’s glamorous, she’s rock and roll, and everything in between I need for my soul,
But most of all- she’s got that get up and go.
And on the radio,
Old Crow sweet and low,
And a montage scene,
The girls I used to know.

Baby I’ll tell you this,
You were so different from the rest,
You make everything come alive.
We’d go racing on the backstreets,
Trade in our hopes and dreams for the thrill of the backseat,
If the credits roll right now I will be satisfied.

Let’s go for a ride tonight
Where the heartbeat holds the hwy tight
Put our faith in the blaze of the two headlights
To guide us through the darkest night.

Baby I’ll tell you this,
You were so different from the rest,
You make everything come alive.
We’d go racing on the backstreets,
Trade in our hopes and dreams for the thrill of the backseat,
If the credits roll right now I will be satisfied.

Let’s go for a ride tonight.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
