Best Thing
My college queen
And everybody wanted her at seventeen
Just you and me
We dance away the dark to California Dreams
She moved around
We grew up with each other on the edge of town
And she wore the crown
Her house was on the same road just a couple door's down
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree
It's as strong
Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring
Made you the best thing, the best thing that happened to me
She went with me
Her jeans were ripped in all the ways you wanna see
And we were riding free
We took the highway down to Gibson Tennessee
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree
It's as strong
Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring
Made you the best thing, the best thing that happened to me
And I know yes I know
It's the way we talk when our friends go home
And we laugh and we cry
Not a day goes by that I don't need you
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree
It's as strong
Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring
Made you the best thing, the best thing that happened to me
And everybody wanted her at seventeen
Just you and me
We dance away the dark to California Dreams
She moved around
We grew up with each other on the edge of town
And she wore the crown
Her house was on the same road just a couple door's down
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree
It's as strong
Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring
Made you the best thing, the best thing that happened to me
She went with me
Her jeans were ripped in all the ways you wanna see
And we were riding free
We took the highway down to Gibson Tennessee
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree
It's as strong
Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring

Not a day goes by that I don't need you
And I can see the days go by when we were sweet sixteen
We would run to meet our friends beneath the willow tree

Just like the whiskey at the bar we drink
But it's the memory
The memory
And I can see the dress you wore when you were prom queen
I was a guy who thought you'd never even look at me
And I swear to you the day you took the diamond ring
Made you the best thing, the best thing that happened to me
