She knocked the sense right outa me

Paul McIntosh 2005

step into a small town barroom find a seat and settle in

brace yourself the parties rollin and here comes buddy armed with gin 

August sun was sure relentless feel it still upon your face

sweet young summer ladies dancin with a brown skin shinin thro the lace  

DIVE INTO THE COOL DARK WATER AND FEEL IT SLIPPIN BY YOUR SKIN  

CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WORLD IS CALLING YOU  

COME AND JOIN THE MIDNIGHT SWIM 

THE MIDNIGHT SWIM

the room is primed with sweat and games that everybody hopes to win 

you know its almost sure to happen and someone whisper's "Midnight Swim" 

the band is grinding out one last set grab some beer throw in five bucks

who can drive climb aboard can someone else drive buddy's truck

DIVE INTO THE COOL DARK WATER AND FEEL IT SLIPPIN BY YOUR SKIN

CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WORLD IS CALLING YOU 

COME AND JOIN THE MIDNIGHT SWIM

THE MIDNIGHT SWIM 

In the freedom darkness has to offer 

cotton lace and denim's piled high  

feel the heat that lingers in the water 

when your naked body's slidin by

CHORUS
