Hot Rod Hearts, Robbie Dupree... hell of a 80s song about cruising main street



Ten miles east of the highway
Hot sparks burnin' the night away
Two lips touchin' together
Cheek to cheek sweatshirt to sweater

Young love born in a back seat
Two hearts pound out a back beat
Headlights, somebody's comin'
Got to move

Keep a runnin' with the hot rod hearts
Out on the boulevard tonight
Here come those hungry sharks
Up from the bottom for another bite

School girl brushes her hair back
Blue jeans can't hide the bare facts
Bad boy knows where to find her
Runs the light, sneaks up behind her

Hot rod hearts out on the boulevard tonight
Here come those hungry sharks
Up from the bottom for another bite
True believers livin' on the borderline
They're just dreamers killin' time
Killin' time, killin time
Times are hard for those hot rod hearts
Out on the boulevard tonight
Here come those hungry sharks
Up from the bottom for another bite

Girl with the hot rod hearts tonight
Girl with the hot rod hearts tonight
Keep runnin' with the hot rod hearts
Out on the boulevard tonight
Hot rod hearts out on the boulevard tonight
Hot rod hearts out on the boulevard tonight

    1. I'd rather describe his music differently, but I can see where you're coming from. The music in 1980 was really in a cross over from just getting out of disco, and country, and muddled up in contemporary music. Hell, I was picking up a similarity to Mellencamp, and Anne Murray. Yeah, I know that sounds weird
