He said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck That had a tendency of gettin' stuck On back roads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
* But when you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears And thankin' God that you weren't here To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed Is a letter that you never read From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake
( * )
And I'm back for the first time since then I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep And the first thing that you'll read is
"When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on I hope it takes you back to that place"
( * )
