It was 1989 my
thoughts were short
my hair was long
Caught somewhere between
a boy and man
She was seventeen and
she was far from in-between
It was summertime in
Northern Michigan
Splashing through
the sand bar
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
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 and roll
And 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 began to change
Or how we thought those
days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song
and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love
to see that girl again
And 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
And 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
