[Verse 1]
Four dead strings on a six string guitar
Playing Jimmy Buffet covers in an Ohio bar
Yeah I met her slinging drinks, filling up her tip jar
I felt like Clyde with Bonnie in my car
We were two dollar lighters, blowing smoke in the sky
You don't think about tomorrow when you feel that alive

[Chorus]
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong
And went by too fast

[Verse 2]
We be just getting started, come closing time
Sweep the floor, lock the door, leave the world behind
Two villains on the run, out searching for a thrill
With nothing to lose, and nothing but time to kill

[Chorus]
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where i wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
Yeah, we stole that summer like runaway thieves
[Bridge]
Well the last I heard, she was livin' on the coast
That summer with her was the one I love the most
And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong
And went by too fast

[Chorus]
We burn bright, got away scott free
Highjack the night, doing time, you and me
Hold a little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer like runaway thieves
We stole that summer, runaway thieves

[Outro]
And we loved, and we laughed, and it came on strong
And went by too fast
