As Long As
T-Rock Lyrics

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
In the year 1989, I was young and my hair was long, symbolizing a time of youthful energy and carefree attitude.

Caught somewhere between a boy and man
At that point in my life, I was in a transitional phase, not fully a boy anymore but not quite a man either.

She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
The girl I met was seventeen years old, and she possessed a unique and extraordinary quality, making her stand out from the rest.

It was summertime in Northern Michigan
The setting was in Northern Michigan during the summer season, creating a backdrop of warmth and natural beauty.

Splashing through the sand bar
We enjoyed the simple pleasure of playing in the water at the beach, splashing and having fun.

Talking by the campfire
Engaging in deep conversations while sitting around the campfire, sharing thoughts and feelings in a relaxed and intimate setting.

It's the simple things in life, like when and where
I realized that the true essence of life lies in appreciating the simplicity of moments, like the time and place we find ourselves in.

We didn't have no internet
During that time, there was no internet, indicating a time of simplicity and genuine human connection without the distractions of technology.

But man I never will forget
I will always remember and hold dear in my heart those memories and experiences from that time.

The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
The image of the moonlight illuminating her hair is etched in my mind, illustrating the beauty and enchantment of that moment.

And we were trying different things
We were exploring new experiences and pushing the boundaries of our comfort zones, seeking adventure and growth.

We were smoking funny things
We were experimenting with marijuana, indulging in its effects and embracing the carefree spirit associated with it.

Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
We indulged in intimate moments of love and passion by the lake, accompanied by the music that held significance and meaning to us.

Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
We enjoyed the present moment without worrying about the future, taking pleasure in savoring whiskey straight from the bottle.

Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
We celebrated the joy of the season by singing the familiar and beloved tune 'Sweet Home Alabama', symbolizing a carefree and nostalgic time.

Catching Walleye from the dock
We engaged in the activity of fishing for Walleye from a dock, finding fulfillment and joy in the simplicity and tranquility of the experience.

Watching the waves roll off the rocks
We found solace and peace by observing the rhythmic motion of waves crashing against the rocks, allowing ourselves to be mesmerized by nature's beauty.

She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
The girl I met during that time will always occupy a special place in my heart and soul, leaving a lasting impact on my life.

We'd blister in the sun
Under the scorching sun, we would spend hours outside, enjoying the warmth and embracing the physical discomfort as part of our carefree summer adventures.

We couldn't wait for night to come
Anticipating the arrival of nightfall, we eagerly awaited the opportunity to engage in nighttime activities and create even more cherished memories.

To hit that sand and play some rock and roll
We relished in the excitement of going to the beach and unleashing our free-spirited nature, enjoying the sand and engaging in lively rock and roll music.

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
In comparison to the carefree and vibrant summer days, the transition to autumn and witnessing the changing colors of leaves felt unfamiliar and somewhat surreal.

Or how we thought those days would never end
During that time, it seemed inconceivable that those joyful and unforgettable days would ever come to an end, as we were fully immersed in the present and the happiness it brought.

Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
Occasionally, when I come across that specific song, I find myself instinctively joining in and singing along, triggering a flood of memories and nostalgia.

And think man I'd love to see that girl again
Reflecting on the past, I often ponder the idea of reconnecting with the girl from that time, longing to experience those special moments with her once more.

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Repeating the refrain, it emphasizes the enduring significance of the song 'Sweet Home Alabama' as a representation of the carefree and memorable summer season.

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Repeating the refrain, it reinforces the sentiment of celebrating and cherishing the summer season by joyfully singing 'Sweet Home Alabama'.

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Repeating the refrain once more, it further underscores the lasting impact and the nostalgic connection between the song and the memories of that summer.

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Continuing to sing 'Sweet Home Alabama' repeatedly, it strengthens the association between the song and the carefree, nostalgic essence of the entire summer season.
