Four dead strings on a six string guitar

Playing Jimmy Buffet covers in an Ohio bar

There I met you slinging drinks, filling up the 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



We burn bright, got away scot-free

Hijacking life, doing time, you and me

All the little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be

We stole that summer like a runaway thieves

And we loved, and we laughed

And it came on strong and went by too fast



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



We burn bright, got away scot-free

Hijacking life, doing time, you and me

All the little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be

We stole that summer like a runaway thieves

Yeah, we stole that summer like a runaway thieves



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



We burn bright, got away scot-free

Hijacking life, doing time, you and me

All the little misdemeanors, where I wish I could be

We stole that summer like a runaway thieves

We stole that summer like a runaway thieves

We stole that summer like a runaway thieves

And we stole that summer, runaway thieves



And we loved, and we laughed

And it came on strong and went by too fast
