The Year of Loving Dangerously ©2017 Robert George BMI

Well, I saw her at the market in the cereal aisle
She had the same ethereal smile
Torn n faded, tight Levi’s
Deep n dark sapphire eyes
Just like the night that I first met her

Reflections of our past were shining in her wedding ring
Time remembered ev’rything
Stolen kisses, stolen cars
Teenage sweat beneath the stars
Lord, I know I never will forget her

It was the year of loving dangerously
Riding wild and crazy and free
Mountain roads a hundred miles an hour
Hundred proof moonshine and pure horsepower
Startin’ fights n robbin’ stores
Kickin’ ass n keepin’ score
I remember how her mama hated me
In the year of loving dangerously

Even though she used to be a shy n studious girl
She was drawn to the dubious world
Of a young man on the run,
Cos love and lust were one
And our midnight life was magic

O but then one night our burning love went up in flames
When the heat came down I took the blame
They read me my rights
Dragged me off in cuffs that night
And our last kiss felt so sweetly tragic

It was the year of loving dangerously
Riding wild and crazy and free
Mountain roads a hundred miles an hour
Hundred proof moonshine and pure horsepower
Startin’ fights n robbin’ stores
Kickin’ ass n keepin’ score
Once her mama even took a shot at me
In the year of loving dangerously

Yeah, we did it hard n fast
And Girl, we did it all
Though it’s in our distant past
From your smile I know you still recall

The year of loving dangerously
Riding wild and crazy and free
Mountain roads a hundred miles an hour
Hundred proof moonshine and pure horsepower
Startin’ fights n robbin’ stores
Kickin’ ass n keepin’ score
And toward the end her mom respected me
In the year of loving dangerously
