[Verse 1]
In the back seats of burned out cars
In the disenchantment lane
The ideal angels twist and turn
And ask forgiveness for future mistakes
But you and I, we've been through this
Maybe a hundred times before
Always hitchin' rides with strangers
Papa warned us about before

[Pre-Chorus]
But you know the summer always brought in
That wild and reckless breeze
And in the backseats, we just tried to find
Some room for our knees

[Chorus]
And in the backseats
We just tried to find some room to breathe
And in the backseats
We just tried to find some room to breathe

[Verse 2]
And in the wild desert sun
We drove straight on through the night
We rode the fever out of Austin
Dreamed of California lights
Come July, we'll ride the Ferris wheel
Go 'round and 'round and 'round
And if you never let me go
Well, I will never let you down
[Pre-Chorus]
And you know the summer always brought in
All those wild and reckless breezes
And in the backseats, we just tried to find
Some room for our knees

[Chorus]
And in the backseats
We just tried to find some room to breathe
And now in the backseats
We just tried to find some room to breathe

[Bridge]
And these cowboys all go crazy in the heat
Chasin' the lights and all the girls along the Santa Ana streets
They're just dyin' to meet
It meant nothin' to me

[Outro]
You know the summer always brought in
That wild and reckless breeze
And in the backseats we just tried to find
Some room for our knees
You know the summer always brought in (And in the backseat, the backseat)
That wild and reckless breeze (And in the backseat, the backseat)
And in the backseats we just tried to find (And in the backseat, the backseat)
Some room for our knees (And in the backseat, the backseat)
You know the summer always brought in (And in the backseat, the backseat)
That wild and reckless breeze (And in the backseat, the backseat)
And in the backseats we just tried to find (And in the backseat, the backseat)
Some room for our knees (And in the backseat, the backseat), hey
