She's getting dressed up, putting on that lipstick Shimmy shaking, ride into them cut-offs baby, oh yeah You're getting off work, cashing up that paycheck Gotta change that shirt and pick that girl up on her front step Here she comes now looking so fine You've been waiting on this night for such a long, long time She slides in and you rode down Main Street, You turn right when that red light turns green Sun sets now, you're half way to heaven She picks a song, you turn it up to eleven You say "do you wanna?" and she says "hell yeah" So you hit the party, all your buddies are jealous Someday you'll be looking back on your life At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights Crowded backyard, everybody's laughing Kinda party, next week you'll say I was there when it happened Coming up on midnight, bout time to get going And then the DJ starts to play your favorite song You slow dance for three minutes or so, and then she whispers baby let's go And then she slides in and she gives you the green light You hold off till you turn on the headlights Someday when you're looking back on your life At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights Yeah one of those nights Full moon through a crack in the windshield You hold her close and you'll never forget how her heartbeat feels No you never will 'Cause someday when you're looking back on your life At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights Yeah one of those nights One of those nights Yeah one of those nights One of those nights, oh One of those nights This is gonna be, hey This is gonna be One of those nights Oh oh
