All Summer Long

It was 1989 My thoughts were short, my hair was long Caught somewhere between a boy and man She was 17 And she was far from in-between It was summertime in northern Michigan Splashing through the sandbar Talking by the campfire It's the simple things in life like when and where We didn't have no internet But man, I never will forget The way the moonlight shined upon her hair And we were trying different things And we were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle Not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Catching walleye from the dock Watching the waves roll off the rocks She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul We'd blister in the sun We couldn't wait for night to come To hit that sand and play some rock 'n' roll While we were trying different things And we were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle Not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long ("Sweet Home Alabama", oh, yeah) Now nothing seems as strange As when the leaves began to change Or how we thought those days would never end Sometimes I hear that song And I start to sing along And think, man, I'd love to see that girl again (Man, I'd like to see that girl again) And we were trying different things And we were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song (our favorite song) Sipping whiskey out the bottle Not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long We were trying different things And we were smoking funny things Making love down by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle Not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long Singing home "Sweet Home Alabama", yeah Singing all summer long
