It's Friday night down in Germantown
You're riding shotgun wearing black
Just another Friday night in Germantown
But something tells me we ain't going back
Mary's glowing by the dashboard light
Giving benediction to the lost
Something's stirring in the black, black night
I guess every blessing has its cost, ooooooh
Do you remember graduation day
I burned like fire beneath your kiss
Said you could see us somewhere far away
Oh, but baby not like this
I heard a siren and a shot ring out
My mind would not believe
My plates expired and my taillight's out
And you've got something up your sleeve, aaaaaah
I'm doing 90 towards the county line
And the rain is coming down
Said, you were on to something big this time
Oh, but baby, it's the other way around ooooooh
It's Friday night down in Germantown
The blood is pounding in my veins
Just another rainy night in Germantown
Why does it always have to rain?
