Moonlit Vegas Rose

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pulled off the blacktop, dust on my truck You were waitin' in the warm motel glow Scarlett red hair fell over your shoulders Soft lips smilin' like you already know The moon hung low on the edge of the strip And the whole damn valley held its breath You said, "Take it slow, baby, take me home" I said, "Girl, I ain't done with you yet" [Pre-Chorus] Out past the county line Where the night feels wide You reached for my hand And I lost my mind [Chorus] Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight Hold me close, let the whole world fade Scarlett red hair in the pale night Soft lips, and I'm gone again Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight We make love where the desert sleeps You and me, that's the whole night That's the only place I need (Under the moonlight) [Verse 2] Your dress on the chair, boots by the door My old guitar leaned against the wall We laughed at the silence, then you came near And I felt that fire hit us both at once You kissed me slow like a promise kept Like a prayer on a summer breeze Out on the edge where the signs run out It was just your body and me [Pre-Chorus] Out past the county line Where the night feels wide You reached for my hand And I lost my mind [Chorus] Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight Hold me close, let the whole world fade Scarlett red hair in the pale night Soft lips, and I'm gone again Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight We make love where the desert sleeps You and me, that's the whole night That's the only place I need (Under the moonlight) [Bridge] Let the stars keep watch tonight Let the wind keep our secrets safe If tomorrow comes too fast Then tonight can stay I can still feel your fingertips Like a match in the dark of me And every road I ever knew Leads right back to where you be [Chorus] Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight Hold me close, let the whole world fade Scarlett red hair in the pale night Soft lips, and I'm gone again Under the moonlight, girl, under the moonlight We make love where the desert sleeps You and me, that's the whole night That's the only place I need (Under the moonlight) [Outro] Scarlett red hair Soft lips on mine Out on the edge Under the moonlight
