All Summer Long

It was 1989, my thumb was short, my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and a man
She was 17 and she was far from in between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan

Splashing through the sand-pile, 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

While we were trying different things
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 docks, watching the waves roll on the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We blister in the sun, we couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that saving grace of rock 'n' roll

While we were trying different things
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

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves begin to change
Oh 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"

While we were trying different things
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
While we were trying different things
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
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
