lyrics

Rain falls down upon this forsaken place
Better to disguise the tears on your face
Memories will betray and people will say
That “the boy took it way too fast around dead man’s way”
They’ll forget the way I fought for you in the rain and mud
Just make sure they remember that your dad drew first blood

Please don’t cry babe, you know I aint mad
These Jersey streets are dangerous when a cop is your dad
The pavement was slick, but i know it aint that
I’m sorry but tomorrow you’ll be dressed in black
I guess it’s true you when they say that you can’t escape your fate
I’ll be leaving soon but for 1 more kiss heaven can wait
I’m happy I can’t look in the mirror cuz I know that it wasn’t right
I never meant to leave you crying here on saturday night

You had fire red hair, attitude to match there were no escaping your jet black eyes
You were dating the varsity tackle but you were mine when I jumped on my bike
Yeah you were mine when I jumped on my bike

When you pull me in close and my knees get weak I knew you feel it too baby aint no doubt
Don’t tell me you a good girl baby, cuz a bad girl’s trying to get out
Yeah there’s a bad girl’s trying to get out

Your friends don’t like me, but baby I don’t care
Tell me once you love me and we’ll get right outta here

Wind in your hair and fire in your eyes, Racing like the devil out the Jersey Pine
You Dad’s the chief of police, mine’s doing 25 - life
mine’s doing 25 - life

I was born to love you I was born to be bad
I fought the law but the law is your dad - and then I hear him say

He tells me to stay away
My kind aint no good i hear him say
I know he must be wrong and I tell him so
Cuz i Had a taste of paradise, now i’ll never let you go
Never let you go

I looked my dad in the face, and i say sorry pop got a love with a bike and gretsch guitar
We’re headin out west so this jersey moon will turn to california stars
Will turn to california stars

We’re in the middle of nowhere, ever less to do
But my heart’s given off sparks all thanks to you
1-2-3-4

I’m gonna race your daddy round dead man’s curve
To prove i’m more than a man and he’d better learn
The winner of the race get to take you home
I’ll put my foot on the gas and let the whole world know

I beefed It on my motorbike, guess we can’t all be alive tonight
I beefed it, though our love is strong, please baby hold me now cuz it won’t be much longer
I tried to do it right, but some things you can’t outrun
Thought our love would last forever but looks like our time is done
Tonight, cuz you know I beefed it right, on my motorbike

I beefed It on my motorbike, guess we can’t all be alive tonight
I beefed it, though our love is strong, please baby hold me now cuz it won’t be much longer
I tried to do it right, but some things you can’t outrun
Thought our love would last forever but looks like our time is done
Tonight, cuz you know I beefed it right, on my motorbike

Now the worst is over, but please hold me tight
If there’s a great beyond you know this aint goodbye
I’ll take one last drag of a smoke near all this twisted chrome
Cuz I start to see saints and devils come to take me home
letting the jersey rain run down my face, you know wasn’t the plan
I can’t help but wish it was California sand

We better hurry now, just got 5 min at most
I’ll whisper my last wish, Hush lean in close
Promise me we’ll have one last date
And you’ll meet when you finally reach those pearly gates

I’ll say what any girl wants to hear you better believe
I want you, I need you now get on my bike lets leave
Would’ve been earlier if it weren’t for the Beef
