Lyrics

Crawlin’ home it’s stop and go on Highway Three
Big city bright lights finally fade
‘Cross the Dade County line is the only light I wanna see
At the end of this red tail light parade

It’s not the porch light that leads me home
It’s not the firelight that keeps me warm
Not the candlelight that’s sure to set the mood
I’m lookin’ forward to
It’s the GREEN LIGHT in your eyes of blue

When I get home you’ll say hello how was your day
But your eyes’ll start talkin’ ‘bout later tonight
Sayin’ how much you’ve missed me and you wanna kiss me right away
Now I can’t wait to pull on up that drive

There’s one last stop at the flashin’ red
My heart starts racin’ full speed ahead
