California Cool

Verse 1

She walks in like a shockwave

Leather jacket, California cool

I been waiting on the wrong wave

Thinking I was playing by the rules

Pre-Chorus

And she says, come on now, what you waiting for?

The night's still young and the moon's on the floor

Chorus

Midnight rider, take me higher

Light me up like a gasoline fire

One more dance before the dawn

Midnight rider, pull me closer

Heartbeat thumping like a drum solo

Holding on, holding on

Verse 2

She talks slow but she moves fast

Got a smile that could start a fight

I been living in the past

Now I'm seeing everything in strobe light

Pre-Chorus

And she says, come on now, what you waiting for?

Got the keys to the thunder, let's settle the score

Chorus

Midnight rider, take me higher

Light me up like a gasoline fire

One more dance before the dawn

Midnight rider, pull me closer

Heartbeat thumping like a drum solo

Holding on, holding on

Bridge

Red lights, fast times

She don't need no reasons

One kiss, three shots

Living for the seasons

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Midnight rider, take me higher

Light me up like a gasoline fire

One more dance before the dawn

Midnight rider, pull me closer

Heartbeat thumping like a drum solo

Holding on, holding on

Outro

Holding on

Yeah, holding on

Oh, midnight rider
