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
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh


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

[Chorus:]

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

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 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

[Repeat Chorus x2]


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
