All Summer Long

We didn't have no Internet but man I never will forget

The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

Making love out by the lake to our favorite song

Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock

Watching the waves roll off the rocks

She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul

We'd blister in the sun, we couldn't wait for night to come

To hit that sand and play some rock 'n' roll

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Or how we thought those days would never end
