Mustang Road (Single)

Days get longer and the nights get hotter
Summer comes and turns their heads around
Girls get a little bit prettier and the boys get wilder
They catch the fever and it takes them down

She was working in the local market
and I was singing in the local band
She kept my picture in a silver locket
and I would shiver when she held my hand

I remember those July nights
How her hair shone in the moonlight
Said, Come on baby don’t you wanna go
to every boy and girl must go, down Mustang Road

September found her on the way to college
and I was on my way to rule the world
But, still I can’t let go of all the knowledge
that old road taught to me and that sweet girl

that summer night out past the high school track
teenage passion in my Pontiac
Feels like the first time on the radio
the night my baby shared her soul, down Mustang Road

Sometimes I think about those days and wonder
what she’s doing now that years have passed
Something about that night will always haunt me
guess it’s a memory that lasts and lasts

Sumer comes and turns their heads around
they catch the fever and it takes them on down
to walk a mile to where the tall trees grow
where every boy and girl must go, down Mustang Road
