“Screen Door Kisses”

“Screen Door Kisses”

[Vs1]
Mosquitoes circlin' your front porch light,
Full moon floats in a foggy flight,
Your eyes melt all my feelings up in smoke;
Front yard swing swaying in the breeze,
Warm summer night whistles through oak trees,
Your red hot lips set fire to the words I spoke…

CHORUS
I need a little more than screen door kisses;
Our love's a little young but so ambitious;
If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -
That old screen door...will not miss us.

[Vs2]
Magnolias bring a sweet smelling song,
Every star begs us to move on,
So grab my hand – let’s take this lovers’ ride;
Your smile is giving your dreams away,
It’s time to open a brand new day,
Take one more step, you'll find those stars are right...

CHORUS
I need a little more than screen door kisses;
Our love's a little young but so ambitious;
If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -
That old screen door...will not miss us.

[BRIDGE]
You bust that door and jump inside this old car of mine...
You hold me tight just like two words written to rhyme... 
Hey darlin, now these wheels are gonna fly...

CHORUS
I need a little more than screen door kisses;
Our love's a little young but so ambitious;
If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -
That old screen door...will not miss us.
