He was tough, she was hot stuff
Had enough of growing up in Pontiac
Senior prom with her mom looking on
But nobody saw their bags packed
His rented tux and her Bloomingdale dress
Couldn't hold the hearts beating out of their chests
Racing down the road in the Michigan sunset

She was kissing his cheek sitting in the middle seat
Saying baby you're the only one
He was leaning on the gas and drumming on the dash
Singing baby we were born to run
And you make loving fun
Young enough to never give up
That old truck was never turning back
Prom night in Pontiac

They carried on singing songs
Wasn't long till Ohio hit the headlights
Eighteen caffeine and a dream
Just tearing though the black night
They didn't miss the dance cause they held their own
Had a coronation on an old dirt road
The king and the queen and the steam on the windows
Baby let's go

She was kissing his cheek sitting in the middle seat
Saying baby you're the only one
He was leaning on the gas and drumming on the dash
Singing baby we were born to run
And you make loving fun
Young enough to never give up
That old truck was never turning back
Prom night in Pontiac

Young enough to never give up

She was kissing his cheek sitting in the middle seat
Saying baby you're the only one
He was leaning on the gas and drumming on the dash
Singing baby we were born to run
And you make loving fun
Young enough to never give up
That old truck was never turning back
Prom night in Pontiac
