Lyrics
Run All Night
By Billy Eli
This ain't the 30 years we thought we had
We just took off an dnow we're where we're at
But you still look the same to me as before your hair turned gray
Now the fire's burning low
It's setting time
Chorus
We can run all night no baby baby
We can go anywhere you want
And all you gotta do is tell me where you want to go
And all through the night now baby baby
Watch the stars bouncing off the road
All you gotta do is tell me where you want to go
We can run all night baby baby
Still we have some things we never thought we'd get
But it's not what you got it's who you get it with
And if you'd still ride beside me
I'd still drive you anywhere
But the moon is almost down and we're almost there
Chorus
