Your shades on my dashboard
Shoes on my floorboard
Lived in that old Chevrolet
We were two Roman candles
Too hot to handle
Two hearts that couldn't
be tamed
Yeah we knew what was comin'
And laughed it off
like it was nothin'
Oh but time
kept on runnin' and
runnin' away
Yeah what can I say
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your
lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
in those eyes and
I put my jacket on
your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't
gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes
Sayin' slow down summer
I was beggin' those leaves
Don't go changin' on me
Friday night lights
Stay away
But the Fourth of July was
just smoke in the sky
And our sunburns were
startin' to fade
Yeah we knew what was comin'
And laughed it off
like it was nothin'
Oh but time
kept on runnin' and
runnin' away
Yeah those were the days
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your
lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
in those eyes and
I put my jacket on
your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't
gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes
Sayin' slow down summer
Why couldn't you
slow down summer
Just wait a minute
We weren't finished
Can we just hold onto
each other
Take me back to the beginnin'
Oh oh oh oh
Slow down summer
Slow down summer
Yeah those were the days
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your
lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
in those eyes and
I put my jacket on
your shoulder
Wishin' the weather wasn't
gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes
Sayin' slow down summer
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Slow down summer
Yeah eah eah
Why couldn't you
slow down summer
Why couldn't you slow down
Slow down
Why couldn't you
slow down summer
