Your hair's tied up in the eyes of my mind
And I want to take you out tonight
Just like they used to do in 1955
I just want to take you out tonight
And watch the sun die down
Over a sleepy little town
Maybe go for a ride
Back in 1955
But you're too far away and we're too educated
See these moderns minds move too fast
And maybe it's just me and it's prob'ly over-rated
But the simple loves were in the past
Or maybe I just miss you
Wondering if I'll ever kiss you again
And you know I've never been to fond of life's wondering way
But it's a long long mile
And we can do it in style
If we just go for a ride
Back in 1955
Yeah maybe go for a ride
Back in 1955
