1st Verse

lyrics
They've got shiny cars and polished nails
Yeah, those girls they've got everything right
They've got fancy clothes, perfect hair, steady lives
But I don't
They're the first to send out 'thank you' notes
They'll do anything just to please you
But I won't

Pre Chorus

'Cause these are the girls that you choose
What makes you think I'd be good for you

Chorus

(Oh) can you tell me, baby
What do you see in me
I'm a fast ride
I'm a crashing tide
And I'm crazy
Can you tell me, baby
What do you see in me (see in me)
You've loved a long line of consistency
I'm a different breed
(whoa, whoa, whoa)
(whoa, whoa, whoa, oh oh)
(whoa, whoa, whoa)
(I'm a different breed)

2nd Verse

Every time you take me out, boy
We see another girl who's held your hand
And she acts like she doesn't count with me
But I know, oh
She don't like the way I look on you
I make her nervous 'cause I don't fit in
With my deep brown eyes, cigarette, cowboy boots
(hold me, hold me, baby)
I stand alone (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Pre Chorus

Well baby, I wonder if you
Know what you're getting yourself into

(Chorus Out)

1st Verse

You had the headlights off so no one could see
You sneakin' up the driveway
I was 'bout seventeen
Waitin' there for you at the window
'Round midnight
Smilin' arms wide open
Runnin' 'cross the lawn
That crazy dog barkin' like a fire alarm
I jumped in the car and said,
'Boy, you better fly'

Pre Chorus

You said, 'Don't you worry, had a story to tell'
'Cause if we got caught we were gonna catch hell
But I'd pay any price for that look in your eyes

Chorus

When we ran like wild horses through the night
Stickin' to the back roads and stayin' outta sight
Makin' the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is
How sweet it was
(Young love)

2nd Verse

Not a cloud in the sky only the heavens and us
That old radio singin' tires kickin' up dust
Oh, in all my years
I don't think I've known a better night
Faded jeans layin' in a field on the ground
You and me smilin'
Rollin' around and 'round
In all my life
Don't think I've held on quite as tight

Pre Chorus

We ran outta time with the rise of the dawn
Autumn was a'callin' for us to move on
And now I only see you in a mem'ry or two

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

Makin' the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is
How sweet it was
Young love
Young love
Wild (wild wild)
Wild horses
(oh, wild)
Oh, you better fly
(wild, wild young love)
How sweet, how sweet, how sweet it was

1st Verse

lyrics
People come and people go
Yeah, that's just the way it is, I know
Promises were never spoken
That way we kept our options open

Pre Chorus

Seems like only yesterday
I watched you as you walked away
The summer sun was beatin' down
You never even looked around

Chorus

And the leaves have turned
(Leaves have turned, yeah)
(Oh yeah,) (And) the sun is low
(And yeah, the sun is low)
(And you've) come and gone
(But I) can't seem to let you go
(Baby, baby no)

2nd Verse

Things that worked for me before
Oh, they just don't do it anymore
The last train's gone
The bars are closed, yeah
November wind cuts through my clothes

(Repeat Pre Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

When will I see you again
What were we thinkin' back then

(Chorus Out)

Dear Baltimore
Why'd 'ya take my baby
You know your harbor (ain't) (never was) that pretty
You know I (miss) (loved) that boy like crazy

2nd Verse

Dear Baltimore
My days here are growin' colder
And that girl in the mirror looks older
'Cause his mem'ry weighs down on my shoulder

1st Chorus

What did I ever do to you
Sweet city by the sea
To merit losin' the only one
Who meant everything to me

Dear Baltimore
When he left Tennessee we were strong
But the roads through Virginia grew long
I guess somewhere he forgot our song

Dear Baltimore
I thought he was over your charms
But you led him straight back to your arms
So much for wishin' on all those stars

To rob me of my love
I should have known that the Chesapeake
Ran straight through his blood

Ooh, ooh
Should've known, I should've known
Ooh, ooh
What did I do to you
Sweet city by the sea
What did I ever do
Ooh, ooh
