Barefoot Blue Jean Night
Jake Owen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Edge of the water, we were feelin' alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot and the beer is ice cold
Cadillac, horns on the hood
My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good
Girls smile when we roll by
They hop in the back and we cruise to the river side
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna grow up (whoa-oh)
Never gonna slow down (whoa-oh)
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right (whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive (whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer
Barefoot, blue jean night
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town and new to me
Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea
Shot me a look like a shootin' star
So, I grabbed a beer and my ol' guitar
Then we sat around 'til the break of dawn
Howlin' and singin' our favorite song
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna grow up (whoa-oh)
Never gonna slow down (whoa-oh)
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right (whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive (whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer
Barefoot, blue jean night
Whoa-oh, never gonna grow up, ha
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right (whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive (whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer
Barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)
Barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
A barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
A barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
A barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Oh, it's a barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
A barefoot, blue jean night (whoa-oh)
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
A barefoot, blue jean night
Jake Owen's song "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" is a tribute to a southern summer night of youthful fun with friends, music, and romance. The lyrics describe a group of friends cruising down a country road in a Cadillac, enjoying ice-cold beer and the company of beautiful girls. The scene is set against the backdrop of a full moon shining bright and the edge of the water, creating a sense of nostalgia for a carefree life full of adventure and excitement. The singer then meets a girl with blue eyes and auburn hair, who looks pretty by the fire in a lawn chair. They hit it off, sharing a connection fueled by music and sweet tea. They spend the night howlin' and singing their favorite song around the fire, captured in the moment and free from the worries of growing up.
The lyrics symbolize the joy and freedom of youth, where there is no pressure to grow old or take on adult responsibilities. Rather, the focus is on living in the moment, making memories with friends, and falling in love. The singer's memories of that particular summer night are vivid and vibrant, and he never wants to forget that feeling of being "caught up in a southern summer."

[Verse 1]
A full moon shining bright
Edge of the water; we were feeling alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot, and the beer is ice cold
Cadillac, horns on the hood
My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good
Girls smile when we roll by
They hop in the back, and we cruise to the river side
[Chorus]
Never gonna grow up
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
We were doin' it right
We were comin' alive
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night
[Verse 2]
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town, and new to me
Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea
Shot me in love like a shootin' star
So, I grabbed a beer and my ol' guitar
Then we sat around till the break of dawn
Howlin' and singin' our favorite song
[Chorus]
Never gonna grow up
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
We were doin' it right
We were comin' alive
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night
Never gonna grow up
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
We were doin' it right
We were comin' alive
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night
[Outro]
