One night we were out on a mission
Drinking and Laughing no inhibition
Feeling wild and out of control
In my 68, on that red dirt road
Memories made, so long ago
In the Rearview mirror was a distant glow
Midnight driving and nowhere to hide
Whiskey nights and My Mustang Ride
Roaring down those back country lanes
Feeling alive and forgetting the pain
Angry hearts and dreams so bold
Living in the moment on the open road
Rocking Skynyrd about to get wild
Whiskey nights and My Mustang ride
Driving down those old backroads
Picking up the pieces of memories lost
Mama's prayers echoed as we crossed that line
Heaven met Hell on that dark night
Whiskey nights and My Mustang ride
Times grow long as the memory fades
Deep within my heart as the adventure plays
Church bells chime a distant sound
Racing through the fields as the rubber meets the ground
Silence etched into the night time sky
Whiskey nights and My Mustang ride
Driving down those old backroads
Picking up the pieces of memories lost
Mama's prayers echoed as we crossed that line
Heaven met Hell on that dark night
Whiskey nights and My Mustang ride
Driving down those old backroads
Picking up the pieces of memories lost
Mama's prayers echoed as we crossed that line
That curve nothing we can do
That night three became two
Heaven met Hell on that dark night
Whiskey nights and My Mustang ride
One night we set on a mission
Drinking and Laughing our act of contrition
Too wild no self control
In my 68, on that red dirt road
Memories made, can't let go
In the Rearview mirror was that distant glow
Midnight moon mamma cried
Whiskey nights and My Mustang Ride
