lyrics
you got your blind red moon rising
you got your eyesight
i ought to know
you got your head out on the highway
you got your midnight cruisers
i ought to know
you got your driving up slow now
you got your don't even know you
you got your not gonna get over without a fight
you got your trying to talk sweeter
you got your trying to pull over
you got your girl so much younger
i ought to know
you got your foolish mistake
but that was years ago he's gone now
i ought to know
but here i am
thumb stuck out on the highway
a trace of tail lights
i ought to know i ought to know
i let you talk me up sweeter
i let you drive me down harder
and how i let you get over
i ought to know i ought to know
