No one dreams in this ol' town no more They don't look down that winding road Wonderin' where it goes But when I hold you, I can see All the places it could lead They we're crazy, I don't care We could make it anywhere Let's ride the wind Down this old road tonight Let's pack our dreams And leave the rest behind They say love this hot Can be a dangerous thing Come on darlin'â?¦ Let's go down in flames I don't know or care where this road leads Just as long as at the end It's you and me We can feel our hearts, beggin' us to go If we don't leave now, we'll never know And if our love should crash and burn We'll take that chance for all it's worth Let's ride the wind Down this old road tonight Let's pack our dreams And leave the rest behind They say love this hot Can be a dangerous thing Come on darlin'â?¦ Let's go down in flames So take my hand, you know we're right Don't look back, just hold on tight Let's ride the wind Down this old road tonight Let's pack our dreams And leave the rest behind They say love this hot Can be a dangerous thing Come on darlin'â?¦ Let's go down in flames Come on darlin'... Let's go down in flames
