Driving In Cars With Boys (Demo and Final Version)

[Your Girl Lana 546]

Lyrics exclusive to the demo in blue, the final in red.



They say I'm wasting time, they said that I'm no good
Summer of my life, not doing what I should
Call me poison ivy 'cause I'm far from good
But pretty from afar, like a dark star

They say I'm dangerous, they think I'm really bad,
I'm just making up for what I never had
Go out every night whenever I feel sad
Oh this drive by love got me crazy like a drug

I wear my red lipstick, got my make up on
Stumble into trouble, siren with a sad song
They all got girlfriends but I'm the one that they want
Miss America with the blue mascara on

Miss America, now I'm gone, baby, gone

I spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll, dancing in the loud noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know

Mommy's Mercedes or Billy's pick up truck
Comes out late at night and baby picks me up
Tell him just drive on and d-don't ever stop
Don't take me home again, take me to a new land

I wear my red lipstick, grab my coat and gun
Wonder if this is it, it's darkest before dawn
Sometimes I wanna give in but I just have to go on
Miss America now I'm gone, baby, gone.

I spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll, dancing in the loud noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know

I was born to live fast die young
Leave a beautiful corpse, live my life on the run
Got my cash and my Louis Vuitton, diamonds and guns
Girls just wanna, just wanna have fun

I spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.

I spent my whole life driving in cars with boys,
Riding 'round town drinking in the white noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know
Spent my whole life wasted in bars with boys
Playing rock 'n' roll, dancing in the loud noise
Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go.
Now we know, baby, now we know

You should write that this is the 2nd version of DICWB, and by the way, it's "I wear my red lipstick" and not "I wear my wig, lipstick".

[VegasBaby 895]

'Cause Imma love my life, not doing what I should

I always thought it was "Summer of my life". Thought it tied in nicely with Ride's "Winter of my life".

It is. There are a handful of incorrect lyrics in here. 

[James Dean 950]

I wear my red lipstick, got my make up on
Miss America, now I'm gone, baby, gone

 

for the 2nd version

[readyforheavensgates 181]

My love for this song is endless.

[joshuasean2900 281]

I always thought that the version of this song with the longer prechorus/higher pitched chorus was the final version, is that the demo?

[LanaMelMey 11]

I thought mommy's mercedes "is a" Billy's pick up truck

[sadgirl69 114]

someone link me the demo?

"They think I'm dangerous, they think I'm really bad
I'm just making up for what I never had
Go out every night whenever I feel sad
All this drive-by love got me crazy like a drug"

thank you!!

If the longer version is the demo I’m lowkey salty she/whoever fucked with it and decided to change it even though it was never released anyway. It sounds so much more complete/finished than the other version
