Homecoming queen about to turn eighteen Just a couple months younger than That wannabe James Dean She can't wait, just say when She ain't gonna leave a note She ain't gonna tell a friend He smelled the rain on the blacktop She heard the banshee in the wind Hey hey hey darling please Let's put these hard times in the breeze Let's go find a little breathing room Bathed in the light of a crimson moon He was named after the hurricane Blew through in '79 and he did just about the same Ain't no point, no way of living it down Standing at the crossroads of this sideways one light town Screen door closed is the only sound she made She climbs on and wraps her hands around his waist Hey hey hey darling please Let's put these hard times in the breeze Let's go find a little breathing room Bathed in the light of a crimson moon Nothing worse than the hell left behind As two lost souls they go running off into the night They felt the fire of running on two wheels If they don't stop tonight Lord knows they never will Hey hey hey darling please Let's put these hard times in the breeze Let's go find a little breathing room Bathed in the light of a crimson moon
