Jake Owen After Midnight song lyrics

Well the sun went down, all storefronts shut

They roll the sidewalks up around here

It's just kids and the cops out after 7 o'clock

So you better had already bought your beer

You cut your headlights off trying to not get caught

She's out the window and across the yard

She slid it into the seat, slow rolled it down the street

'Til you parked it and the stereo starts

And they say

Nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why does it always feel so damn good

Wrapped up so tight with me, no light

All night, it was alright, alright

You go as fast as you can, go as far as you want

With nobody out to slow you down

She was your rearview queen

You were her ghost street king

While everybody was asleep in the town

You watch the relights blink 'til the horizon's pink

All while her daddy thinks she's still in her bed

But when you're young and dumb

The only rule of thumb was do the opposite of everything

And they said, and they said

Nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why does it always feel so damn good

Wrapped up so tight, your own paradise

And the dashboard lights, alright, alright

They say nothing good ever happens after midnight

Maybe midnight's just misunderstood

Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Why did it always feel so damn good

Wrapped up so tight with me, no light

All night, it was alright, alright
