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 '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
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'll 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
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 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
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
All summer long
Singing a 'Sweet Home Alabama' yeah
Singing all summer long

Finding these lyrics for a friend. My personal opinion: some day he'll be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course he'll have to buy a ticket like everyone else!

Well tbh i can see by your grammar you're probably 10 years old, meaning you were born in 1999, by 1989 he's remembering what he did back then with that girl that still has a place in his heart. It's a really meaningful song and you should really go to school and stop wasting your time posting things like that. You posted on Nov. 18, nearly a year ago but still i thought i should post hehe it's a really good song!

Well this song rocks you stink.
