Brinn Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we were pushing that throttle spin in that bottle and fighting for a promise ring
just hanging out till dawn till Sweet 16 was gone
because we were doing nothing laughin runin havin fun an flirting with those wide eyed Southern boys
lovein every minute from beginning to the endin
then falling because the new young heart has no choice we were crushin
yeah rocking flip-flops tied halter tops and a tan and then tattoo we were Strutting up and down the beach looking for someone to show it to
just one more summer fling until that school bell rings you
lovin every minute from beginning to the ending
falling cause the young heart has no choice
we were crushin
out all night counting stars we're sitin fishin in the dark you know we were doing nothing in laughin runin having fun an flirting with those wide eyed Southern boys
we were Crushin
loving every minute from beginning to the endin
falling because those young heart has no choice but we were doing nothing laughing running havin funin an flirting with those wide eyed southern boys
lovin every minute from beginning to the endin
falling because the young heart has no choice
we we're crushin
we were crushin

breaking them hearts shaking them hips getting high off those dixie lips
out all night counting stars
Saying you and me going fishing in the dark
we were crashin
