It was 1989, my thoughts were short, my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was 17 and she was far from in between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Splashin' through the sandbar, talkin' 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 tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
Sippin' whisky out the bottle, not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singin' Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Catchin' walleye from the dock, watchin' 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
