sixty to zero

she had blue eyes

the colour

of amarillo skies in summer

and when we'd fly

her hair would wrap around me

the smell of leather and gasoline

a little danger sitting next to me

and when i was with her

man

i never felt so alive

sky was red

i was green

road was black

seventeen

she was fast

i was slow

she was all i could hold

summer flew

she was gone

little did i know my heart could go

from sixty to zero

we'd sit in my car night after night

watchin' the stars as they flew by

we'd go 'round the world at the speed of light

and never turn the key

still i wonder where she might be

and if she ever stops and thinks about me

'cause god knows

i sure think about her

sixty to zero

we loved and laughed enough to last a lifetime

but at least for a little while she was mine
