Lyric
The needle showed the gas was lowAnd three dollars in my pocketHer beauty got the best of meAnd she didn’t try to stop itOn a dead end road nobody knowsA thing about but meWe parked that old ford pickup truckUnderneath that cypress treeTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlightYeah I was off and runnin’My fingers through her hairYou could cut the passion with a knifeIn that southern midnight airI kissed her sweet on that pickup seatAs my blue jeans hit the floorHer body heat and my cold bare feetPressed up against the doorTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlightOh I still feel the same about youI can’t spend the night without youYou still move meTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlightIt happened fastJust like thatIt didn’t take us longLike smoke rings off my cigaretteOur innocence was goneAnd I wanted to say somethingBut I buttoned up insteadShe sat there and brushed her hairAnd a smile was all she saidTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlightGirl I still feel the same about youI can’t spend the night without youYou still move meTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlightBurnin’ moonlightBurnin’ moonlightTurnin’ midnightBurnin’ moonlight
