I can see the shadows dancing softly on your skin
We are leaving all the sorrow where it has always been
With the window rolled down and the starlight in your eyes
We are fading out of focus under heavy southern skies
There is a quiet little highway running past the county line
Where the willow trees are swaying and our shadows intertwine
I am holding onto moments that we whispered in the dark
With your head upon my shoulder and my hands around your heart
Every mile we are pulling further from the noise
I am finding all my answers in the quiet of your voice
You are staring at the embers of the sunset fading down
We are trading all the concrete for a sleepy little town
We are heading south tonight together, leaving nothing in our way
Just the rhythm of the engine and the words we want to say
I am craving every second of this beautiful escape
With the warmth of your affection and the memories we make
Oh, heading south, just you and me
Wild and free, wild and free
I can feel the steady rising of the fever in my veins
When you look at me like water falling heavy in the rain
There is a fire in the silence that we never need to break
I am leaning in to trace the gentle shivers that you make
Every mile we are pulling further from the noise
I am finding all my answers in the quiet of your voice
You are staring at the embers of the sunset fading down
We are trading all the concrete for a sleepy little town
We are heading south tonight together, leaving nothing in our way
Just the rhythm of the engine and the words we want to say
I am craving every second of this beautiful escape
With the warmth of your affection and the memories we make
Oh, heading south, just you and me
Wild and free, wild and free
Heading south tonight together, running on a spark
Tracing every constellation fading in the dark
I am letting go of yesterday and all the heavy chains
I am focusing entirely on what this night contains
And if tomorrow is a promise, let me take the lead
Because your love is all the heaven that Sayed will ever need
Leave the whole world in the rearview mirror
Tonight is only about you and me
We are heading south tonight together, leaving nothing in our way
Just the rhythm of the engine and the words we want to say
I am craving every second of this beautiful escape
With the warmth of your affection and the memories we make
We are leaving all the sorrow where it has always been
With the window rolled down and the starlight in your eyes
We are fading out of focus under heavy southern skies
There is a quiet little highway running past the county line
Where the willow trees are swaying and our shadows intertwine
