Night Blooming Jasmine

NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE

I punch the clock as the sun goes down
Fire up my truck and drive
Eighteen miles to the edge of town
To get home as my love comes alive

I wanna make it to her arms
Before the magic starts
And feel the beating of her heart as she becomes

Night blooming jasmine
Intoxicating flower
Most fragrant of the night

She’s all business when the morning comes
But that’s okay with me
She has to fold up her petals and get things done
She can’t always be wild and free

But as the sun starts to descend
And the day begins to end
What makes her open up again and become?

Night blooming jasmine
Intoxicating flower
Most fragrant of the night

BR: She says it’s no mystery
She’s says she’s just turned on by me

She says that’s what sets her free
It’s when I turn the front door key
She says it’s all because of me that she becomes

Night blooming jasmine
Intoxicating flower
Most fragrant of the night
