Last call at the dancehall, lights flicker out
Friends sayin' goodbyes, I ain't ready now
Empty house waitin', but I don't wanna go
You offer a ride, I say "Yes, but slow"
Keys jingle in your hand, that smile in your eyes
Stars are all waitin' for our midnight drive

Drive me home, real slow
Windows down, hearts glow
Let's take the long way, no need to go
Just drive me home, real slow
Let the night stretch on forever more
We'll find every back road worth explorin'
Drive me home, real slow

Empty highway stretched beneath summer skies
Just your laugh and the radio fillin' the night
I slide a little closer on this leather seat
Your hand on the gearshift brushes against me
Each mile marker passin' gives me butterflies
Every wrong turn feels so perfectly right

Maybe we could stop by the lookout point
Watch the stars make the sky their own
My fingertips trace patterns on your hand
Let's not find my driveway, not just yet
'Cause every mile's another reason not to say goodnight
You shift the gears, I shift closer tonight

Drive me home, real slow
These windows down, how our hearts glow
Every glance, every breath makes time stand still
Just drive me home, real slow
Let the night stretch on forever more
We're making the stars jealous, that's for sure
Drive me home, real slow
Drive me home... so slow

The destination don't matter much tonight
It's the journey that's got me feeling alive
