Summer of Seventeen
Campfires and Evergreens
It's an East Texas summer's eve
And I've been missing you
For a long time now
Dirt roads and faded blue jeans
Everything wasn't what it seemed
But I miss kissing you
Back in that small town
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Stick shifts and two lane roads
We were running fast with nowhere to go
But we were young lovers
And we were so free
Jumping straight into my backseat
And tugging on things that we shouldn't be
And I gotta get you back
Before your Daddy comes home
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Looking back it all makes me smile
Wishing we could still laugh and talk awhile
But things are so different
Since we went our separate ways
Wonder what life would be like now
If we'd run off and taken those vows
Would we still be
Back in that small town
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Yeah you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
It's an East Texas summer's eve
And I've been missing you
For a long time now
Dirt roads and faded blue jeans
Everything wasn't what it seemed
But I miss kissing you
Back in that small town
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Stick shifts and two lane roads
We were running fast with nowhere to go
But we were young lovers
And we were so free
Jumping straight into my backseat
And tugging on things that we shouldn't be
And I gotta get you back
Before your Daddy comes home
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Looking back it all makes me smile
Wishing we could still laugh and talk awhile
But things are so different
Since we went our separate ways
Wonder what life would be like now
If we'd run off and taken those vows
Would we still be
Back in that small town
We had a time back in those days
Forever young playing in a misty haze
You were so beautiful
Lord you were like a dream
We danced around in the pale moonlight
Skinny dipping every dang'd Friday night
And you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
Yeah you were my everything
In the Summer of seventeen
