You Keep My Engine Running — DaddyLove

Verse 1

You were leaning on that old red Chevy
Truck bed tailgate, sun going down
I was tired from a week gone heavy
Heart running low, near dragging on the ground
You laughed and handed me that cold can
Said, "Take a sip, babe, it’ll wake you up"
That first taste, that first touch of your hand
Kicked through my veins like thunder in a paper cup

Chorus

You keep my engine running
Like a fresh pack in the glovebox, brand new start
You’re my battery in the morning
You’re my late-night lightning in the dark
Every time I’m fading, you charge me with one kiss
You’re my caffeine heartache, sugar-rush bliss
Baby, you keep my engine running
Right through the red lines of this love we’re in

Verse 2

We pull off by that broken-down diner
Neon buzzing soft over dusty glass
You stir cream in my paper cup finer
Trace little circles like the seconds pass
You say, “Girl, we’re both a little worn out”
But your smile hits like a spark in the rain
One little taste of your whispered doubt
Turns to a dare, and we’re flying down the road again

Chorus

You keep my engine running
Like a fresh pack in the glovebox, brand new start
You’re my battery in the morning
You’re my late-night lightning in the dark
Every time I’m fading, you charge me with one kiss
You’re my caffeine heartache, sugar-rush bliss
Baby, you keep my engine running
Right through the red lines of this love we’re in

Bridge

We’ve stalled on the shoulder
Fought ‘til the coffee went cold
But you touch my cheek, it’s like turning that key
And I’m roaring back, brave and bold (oh yeah)

Chorus

You keep my engine running
Like a fresh pack in the glovebox, brand new start
You’re my battery in the morning
You’re my late-night lightning in the dark
Every time I’m fading, you charge me with one kiss
You’re my caffeine heartache, sugar-rush bliss
Baby, you keep my engine running
Yeah, you keep my engine running
Right through the red lines of this love we’re in
