Young Love

Carter's Chord

You had the headlights off, so no one could see
Sneaking up the driveway, I was bout seventeen
Waiting there for you at the window, round midnight
Smiling arms wide open, run across the lawn
That crazy dog barkin' like a fire alarm
I jumped in the car and said, boy you'd better fly

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

[Chorus]
When we ran like wild horses through the night
Sticking to the back roads and staying out of sight
Making the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was, young love

Not a cloud in the sky, only the heavens and us
That old radio singing tires kicking up dust
Oh in all my years I don't think I've known a better night

Faded jeans laying in a field on the ground
You and me smiling rolling round and round
In all my life, don't think I've held on quite as tight

We ran out of time with the rise of the dawn
Autumn was calling for us to move on
And now I only see you, in a memory or two

When we ran like wild horses through the night
Sticking to the back roads and staying out of sight
Making the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was,
Making the most of what little time we had left
How sweet it is, how sweet it was, young love
Young Love
Wild horses
Oh you'd better fly
How sweet, how sweet it was
