[Verse 1]
You pulled up in that dented Ford
Fresh wash, but the tag expired
Koozie on your dash like a dashboard trophy
Said, "Climb in if you're still tired"

Got boots on my Sunday jeans
Your dog in the back half-smiling
I said, "Girl, you know that bar's in town"
You said, "This tailgate feels more my style, and…"

[Chorus]
It's cooler in the driveway
Two lawn chairs, one old radio
Laughing 'bout the mess we made
Back when we didn't know
We don't need some fancy highway
To feel that wide open sky
Just your hand in mine
And that porch light shining
Yeah, it's cooler in the driveway
Than anywhere tonight

[Verse 2]
Neighbors probably think we're stuck
Same spot we were parked last Friday
But every little crack in the concrete here
Knows more secrets than that highway

You toss me that faded cap
I miss, and your beer goes flying (whoops)
We're barefoot, sticky from the summer air
Kissing like the world stopped trying

[Chorus]
It's cooler in the driveway
Two lawn chairs, one old radio
Laughing 'bout the mess we made
Back when we didn't know
We don't need some fancy highway
To feel that wide open sky
Just your hand in mine
And that porch light shining
Yeah, it's cooler in the driveway
Than anywhere tonight
