Outside The Lines Songtext
von Lance Rodgers

She took a long slow draw of a Pall Mall
In the shadows of a Friday night bleacher
One Converse Chuck up against the pole
She was happy that no one could reach her
She kinda dug the way I wore my hair
And the t-tops on my old Trans-Am
I thought about her when I chose what to wear
′Cause she likes ripped jeans and Ray-Bans

Outside
Where the wild things run
Outside
We were children of the sun
Outside
Where only knew where
We got what we wanted
Didn't know what we needed
Didn′t care about the lines we cheated
Outside


She never let on about her lightnin' eyes
But she never wanted to go home
Faster we drove down memory lane
The tougher her James Dean heart would grow
Some nights we'd walk the railroad tracks
Down to the river at grist mill
And wonder if we were the only ones
Livin′ for the moment and off the rails

Outside
Where the wild things run
Outside
We were children of the sun
Outside
Where only we knew where
We got what we wanted
Didn′t know what we needed
Didn't care about the lines we cheated
Outside

Every now and then I drift back to that spray paint summer
The full moon nights, the overpass
Livin′ life like a lake cliff jumper
Lookin' back it′s only now I understand
Why she cried when I held her hand


Outside
Where the wild things run
Outside
We were children of the sun
Outside
Where only we knew where
We got what we wanted
Didn't know what we needed
Didn′t care about the lines we cheated
Outside
