shot in the dark lyrics
by Ashley Cooke
[Verse 1]
2 a.m. through cigarette smoke
I told my friends I was 'bout to head home
Visa down, turned around and bumped into you
And back then, I didn't know your name
All I knew is that I had to stay
And all of a sudden you were the only one in the room
[Chorus]
Time stood still all at once
All those neon stars lined up
You leaned in, felt that rush
Last call, first kiss, a little bit drunk
Who knew two straight tequilas on a debit card
Would wind us up right where we are
So here's to two strangers in the back of a bar
Taking a shot in the dark
[Verse 2]
A fifty-fifty wouldn't work out
We took a chance and look at us now
Let's throw one back for old time's sake
Feels like yesterday
[Chorus]
Time stood still all at once
All those neon stars lined up
You leaned in, felt that rush
Last call, first kiss, a little bit drunk
Who knew two straight tequilas on a debit card
Would wind us up right where we are
So here's to two strangers in the back of a bar
Taking a shot in the dark
[Bridge]
Like, who'd have thought a downtown Saturday'd turn to the rest of my life
Yeah, I guess sometimes good things do happen after midnight
[Chorus]
Time stood still all at once
All those neon stars lined up
You leaned in, felt that rush
Last call, first kiss, a little bit drunk
Who knew two straight tequilas on a debit card
Would wind us up right where we are
So here's to two strangers in the back of a bar
Taking a shot in the dark
