I, I hope she makes you smile The way it made me smile On the other end of a phone In the middle of a highway driving alone Oh baby I I hope you hear a song That makes you sing along and gets you thinking 'bout her Then the last several miles turns into a blur, yeah I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night I hope you never ever felt more free Tell your friends that you're so happy I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand I hope she's wilder than your wildest dreams She's everything you're ever gonna need And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me Yeah babe, I hope she Shows up in a 2 AM pic from her friend Hanging on to a guy, and you just ain't him I hope you stay up all night all alone waiting by the phone And then she calls And baby I I hope you work it out Forgive and just about forget And take her on a first date again And when you lean in for a kiss I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night I hope you never ever felt more free Tell your friends that you're so happy I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand I hope she's wilder than your wildest dreams She's everything you're ever gonna need And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me I hope it goes, comes all the way around I hope she makes you feel the same way About her that I feel about you right now I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night I hope you never ever felt more free Tell your friends that you're so happy I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand I hope she's wilder than your wildest dreams She's everything you're ever gonna need And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me And then I hope she cheats Like you did on me Like you did on me
