V1
We'd spend the evening up at Rotary Park
I'd sneak you home, hope your dog wouldn't bark
Somehow I think your folks already knew
We'd been out way past curfew
Doin' things we knew we shouldn't do
Our clothes were wrinkled
And your hair was always a mess

CHORUS 1:
Makin' out in the back seat
Movin' to the rock beat
That was playin' on the car radio
Headlights in the distance
Hope they didn't witness
That we were really puttin' on a show
First base, second base, outta the park
Holding you so close in the dark
Up in Rotary Park

V2
Friday night, after the football game
We'd stop for pizza but the crowds were insane
So we'd order one to go and take it to our favorite spot
Down that little dirt road under the sycamore tree
Far enough away for some privacy
Then, I'd be kissin' you
And you'd be kissin' me

CHORUS 2:
Makin' out in the back seat
Movin' to the rock beat
That was playin' on the car radio
Headlights in the distance
Hope they didn't witness
That we were sure puttin' on a show
First base, second base, outta the park
Holding you so close in the dark
Up in Rotary Park


BRIDGE:
We sure had fun in my dad's old Chrysler
Lots of room on those big bench seats
Nothin' there to get in our way
So we'd fool around for hours
Yeah, it was sweet

CHORUS 2:
Makin' out in the back seat
Movin' to the rock beat
That was playin' on the car radio
Headlights in the distance
Hope they didn't witness
'Cause we were sure puttin' on a show
First base, second base, outta the park
Holding you so close in the dark
Up in Rotary Park

Up in Rotary Park
