you were mine

you had a magnet of arrows
on the dashboard of your mustang '69
silver bullet of the valley it was cherry
it was heavy, it was fine
you let me drive it after school
and for that moment i was cool
you and me, we wrote the rules
it was perfect, i felt classic
you were mine

i still envision ya dancin' in december
in a t-shirt in the snow
it was as chilly as an icebox
but you didn't seem to mind the cold
the flurries made you laugh out loud
tilt your head back, stick your tongue out
you were crazy and a knock out
it amazed me baby
that you were mine

now i'm sifting through the ashes
trying hard to fuel the fire
perhaps if i remind you of these memories
we can recapture the feeling
relive the moment
when you and i we loved in perfect time
there was rhythm and harmony
back when you were mine
there was rhythm and harmony
back when you were mine
