Cop Car Lyrics
We drove right past
That no trespassing sign
We sat on the tailgate
And watched the planes take off
We thought we had all night
There was no need to rush
That’s when those cops
Came pulling up
And I thought
Man, ain’t this some shhhh
Bridge:
Your daddy’s gonna kill me
But if I survive tonight
I wouldn’t change one thing
Baby, yeah
I know it sounds crazy
Chorus:
But there was somethin’ ‘bout the way
The blue lights were shinin’
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
I was too busy watching you
Going wild child
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
Running for it
Would make a good story
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so
Innocent
But you were stealing my heart
I fell in love in the back of a cop car
Man, they weren’t playin’
They sure threw those cuffs on quick
You tried to sweet talk ‘em
They didn’t fall for it
But I did
You were on the left
I was on the right
I knew you didn’t smoke
When you asked him for a light
And I laughed
He got mad and slammed the door
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
Side by side
And locked in tight
They were taking their time
But we didn’t mind
We talked
And we laughed
We sat real close
By the time they let us go
I was already gone
Repeat Chorus
That no trespassing sign
And watched the planes take off
There was no need to rush
That’s when those cops
Came pulling up
And I thought
Man, ain’t this some shhhh
Your daddy’s gonna kill me
But if I survive tonight
I wouldn’t change one thing
Baby, yeah
I know it sounds crazy
But there was somethin’ ‘bout the way
The blue lights were shinin’
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
I was too busy watching you
Going wild child
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
Running for it
Would make a good story
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so
Innocent
But you were stealing my heart
I fell in love in the back of a cop car
They sure threw those cuffs on quick
You tried to sweet talk ‘em
They didn’t fall for it
But I did
You were on the left
I was on the right
I knew you didn’t smoke
When you asked him for a light
And I laughed
He got mad and slammed the door
Side by side
And locked in tight
They were taking their time
But we didn’t mind
And we laughed
We sat real close
By the time they let us go

The video tells the story of a real-life young couple taking a drive who get into trouble for trespassing. The clip was directed by John Urbano (One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"), who Urban had never worked with before. "I had him pegged for this song, and I just loved his vision for this whole thing," said the singer. "There's certain songs that are written so visually that you can sort of see this whole unfolding… It was incredibly easy to shoot the video because it's just… there it is."
