Kissin In The Dark (Lyrics)

Had some requests for the lyrics so here they are:

Kissin In The Dark LYRICS:
Artist: Rip (feat Augie Zibell & brian Urso)
Title: kissin In The Dark
Album: Sellout
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aspPe9aswvo

[Verse 1]

Rip:
She got that country girl thing
man it’s something kind of different and I
Like it how she do it,
Now I got her in my system and I
Don’t think you will know what your missin
unless you listen when I
tell you that you never lived your life
until you’re kissin on a…
small town girl, with a little bit of attitude
love her with your best,
in return you’ll get some gratitude
I used to live the fast life, care to only stack chips
but she keep it simple, keep me grounded like a bad kid
she my American Honey, never care about the money
in the summer she my lover, in the winter snow bunny
she can’t teach me how to dougie, just the boot scootin boogie
if I’m lookin kinda foolish, I’m a new tootin rookie
Listen, never asked to fall in love just happened like the movies
now I only wanna be with you, like my name was Hootie
We layin in the dark, staring at the stars so…
I told her save a horse n ride a city boy Ohhhh

[Chorus]
Augie Zibell & Brian Urso:
You and me goin kissin in The dark
Lyin on our backs and countin the stars
where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We’ll be fallin in love in the middle of the night
Just movin slow…
Stayin the whole night thru, feels so good
to be with you…

[Verse 2]

Rip:

I’m on a mission to be kissin as we fishin in the dark
and got it written in these bars how beautiful girl you are
now we wishin on the stars bout this journey we’ll embark
and I hope this pretty girl will never break my achy heart
But I live in the present and cherish all the components
of loving her and never will I let the fear ever own it
see, this is my moment and no nothing else matters
and I don’t care what they say they just talkin that chatter
so here I am in the dark, kissing her and enjoying
all the calm of the night with the wind lightly blowing
in between the place I came from and to where I am going
and what tomorrow may bring man nobody is knowing
you see she is my firefly, bringing peace to my night
a new lease to my life, make the future seem bright
and when I gotta take flight, she’ll be down for the ride
right down to the nitty gritty, right by my side, that’s why…

[Chorus x 2]

Rip (on last chorus):
Baby when I’m not kissin you, I’m already missing you
Baby when I’m not kissin you, I’m already missing you
