Lyrics

Hey Amy

Hey, Amy won't you come out tonight?
C'mon now don't put up a big fight
And, hey Amy come on out with me
Imagine the things that we'll see
And, hey, Amy, are you ready to go?
Hurry up, we'll miss the start of the show
And, hey, Amy, why you dressed so nice?
It's not like you're getting laid tonight

Oh, Amy, that car ride home
When the rain was coming down
You remember that car ride home
The lights were out all over town
The wipers squeaking
The windshield streaking
We were singing loud to the Blues
And you were laughing
Your green eyes flashing
And I kissed you

Hey, Amy, I had fun that night
I'm sorry if my eagerness was less than polite
Now don't deny it girl, you had fun too
I hope this is the start of something new
And, hey, Amy how you doing today?
You're looking like you wish I would just go away
And, hey, Amy won't you let me in?
My patience is wearing thin

What about the car ride home?
When the rain was coming down
Oh, that car ride home
The lights were out all over town
The wipers squeaking
The windshield streaking
We were singing loud to the Blues
You were laughing
Your green eyes flashing
And I kissed you

Your silence speaks
But, I don't want to listen
I just want to hear the soft sound of the rain
Your bedroom eyes
And from the lights they glistened
I read them wrong, now I'm the fool again

Hey, Amy, can't we just be friends?
I'm sick of all this in-between, these odds and ends
And, hey Amy, please don't look so sad
That kiss, it wasn't all that bad

We should just forget the car ride home
When the rain was coming down
Whoa, that car ride home
The lights were out all over town
The wipers squeaking
The windshield streaking
We were singing loud to the Blues
You were laughing
Your green eyes flashing
And I kissed you
