lyrics
We were driving 'til the sun came up again
Another summer night coming to its end
We started dancing and the world slowed down again
(I) still think about all the times we'd spend
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
It was (gonna) be an everlasting summer
The sun was going to shine down for weeks at a time
It was (gonna) be an everlasting summer
(I) kept dreaming of ways to make you mine
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
And I can still remember
The way that your hair danced
In the rearview mirror
Couldn't bring myself to take the chance
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
