Cars and Bars

In the better part of town
You caught me watching from afar
And when you asked if I’d sit down
I led you by the arm
And my pulse was unsteady
In the heart of the city
As we watched all the sinners driving by
It must have been crazy around us
But that night all I saw was
Nothing but cars and bars and midnight stars and you
Well we sat there for a while
And we shared some of our scars
Then I followed you outside
And I kissed you in your car
And your pulse was unsteady
In the heart of the city
As we watched all the sinners driving by
There might have been hardly an ember
But the night I remember
Was lit up with cars and bars and midnight stars and you
In the better part of town
I’m still watching from afar
And when I think about it now
I wonder where you are
And my pulse, it’s unsteady
In the heart of the city
As I watch all the sinners driving by
And sometimes I drift when I’m talking
'Cause I’m really sleep walking
Just dreaming about cars and bars and midnight stars and you
