[Verse 1] Backroads rolling under sunset skies, That old Ford Chevy rattled down the line. Six-pack cold sittin’ on my lap, Radio blasting every country track. Girls in sundresses, cut-off jeans, Lips stained red from those cherry dreams. We’d chase the sunrise in our bare feet, Laugh until our hearts skipped a beat. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, those nights we’d swear would never end… But time flies fast when you’ve got heart to lend. [Chorus] We were young and wild and free, Raising hell ’neath the Tennessee trees. Pour another round, let the memories spin, Girls, trucks, cold beer, and a first-kiss grin. Here’s to all the good times that made us who we are, Those dusty roads and bars I still feel it in my bones, That summer’s never gone. [Verse 2] Friday dive bars and jukebox dreams, Sticky stools and neon-soaked beam. Your lipstick mark on my faded tee, Our secret dance beneath the marquee. Tailgate sunsets, fireflies, Stolen kisses under star-glow skies. We thought that night could last forever, Never knew what we’d leave under that old cedar. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, we swore we’d never say goodbye… But seasons change and so did time. [Chorus] We were young and wild and free, Raising hell ’neath the Tennessee trees. Pour another round, let the memories spin, Girls, trucks, cold beer, and a first-kiss grin. Here’s to all the good times that made us who we are, Those dusty roads and bars I still feel it in my bones, That summer’s never gone. [Bridge: Stripped-back: acoustic + harmony] Sometimes I drive that back-road home, Windows down, that old song on the radio. Wind in my hair, I swear I hear your laugh… And I’m right back in the past. [Final Chorus] We were young and wild and free, Raising hell ’neath the Tennessee trees. Pour one more round, let the memories spin, Girls, trucks, cold beer, and that first-kiss grin. Here’s to all the good times that made us who we are, Those dusty roads and bars I still feel it in my bones, That summer’s never gone. [Outro Tag: Acoustic guitar + banjo motif returns] “Girls, trucks, cold beer… that summer’s never gone.”
