Lyrics
Summer nights
Mid-july
Playing all those songs we love on your old guitar
Simple life
Peace of mind
Driving down the coast with you in your muscles car
Ahhhh ahh
I was younger
She was older
Late night talking
In the summer
Two high school kids who didn't know much about love ouhooh
It was 1985
I had my car
And I loved to drive
But she
She was still stuck on mind
She was working at the gas station on the corner
I pull up with my trans-am just see her
Hoping that she'd just give me a chance
Dreaming about kids in a yellow mansion
I took her for a drive from city to sea
As she told "baby please won't you marry me"
I pulled over with the wedding ring in my hand
Said baby I'll always be your man
Summer nights
Mid-july
Playing all those songs we love on your old guitar
Simple life
Peace of mind
Driving down the coast with you in your muscles car
He was handsome
Quite a man
He had a way of thinking that I didn't understand
But his heart
Was bigger than the world
I was a beauty school lady
Just as it seemed
He was my high school honey
Teenage dream
Ill forever be thankful for what I have
Lying in the backseat of your trans am baby
Summer nights
Mid-july
Playing all those songs we love on your old guitar
Simple life
Peace of mind
Driving down the coast with you in your muscles car
Summer nights
Mid-july
Playing all those songs we love on your old guitar
Simple life
Peace of mind
Driving down the coast with you in your muscles car
Aah - Mmh
I see those pretty Colors in your eyes
And I remember what you told me that night
You said the good days are only good when their over
But I miss last summer too
As we rode the roads on the east side
Like a rolling stone
What can I say
It's the life that I've always known
Guess you need the good old days to give you a little hope
Ah, but I remember all the ways it made me feel
To be young
And in love
