Cruisin’ (The Town in the Heat of the Night) Lyrics by Billy Thorpe

East of Eden’s Gate

0

She checks her makeup
Just a touch more 'round her eyes
Tries her new top
And fills it out so firm and nice
She's a young girl
Who wants to look just right tonight
Yes, tonight
He drives to meet her
He's keeping one eye on the clock
Arrives too early
Politely drives around the block
She hears the bell ring
It's 7:30, right on time
He's on time
Cruisin' the town in the heat of the night
Planning their night moves together
He's holding her hand and she's feeling just right
She hopes that the night lasts forever
Cruisin' the town on a hot summer night
Makin' some night moves together
He's holding her close and he squeezes her tight
She's feeling so right that she hopes that the night lasts forever
Lasts forever
He puts the top down
Just cruisin' to the radio
She gets hungry
They stop and get some food to go
Such a great night
Can't waste it in some restaurant
Not what they want
She checks her makeup
And wipes the lipstick from his face
He starts the car up
And combs his hair back into place
Back on the highway
There's still some cruisin' left tonight
Yes, tonight
Cruisin' the town in the heat of the night
Planning their night moves together
He's holding her hand and she's feeling just right
She hopes that the night lasts forever
Cruisin' the town on a hot summer night
Makin' some night moves together
He's holding her close and he squeezes her tight
She's feeling so right that she's wishing the night lasts forever
Cruisin' the town in the heat of the night
Planning their night moves together
He's holding her hand and she's feeling just right
She hopes that the night lasts forever
They're cruisin' the town on a hot summer night
Makin' those night moves together
He's holding her hand and she's feeling just right
