It was 1989, my thoughts were short, my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan

Splashing through the sand bar, talking by the campfire
It´s the simple things in life like when and where
We didn´t have no Internet but man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

Chorus:
And we were trying different things,
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favourite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ´bout tomorrow
Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ all summer long
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

Chorus

Now nothing seems as strange as
When the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I hear that song and I´ll start to sing along
And think, man, I´d love to see that girl again
Man, I´d like to see that girl again

Chorus

Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ all summer long
Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ all summer long
Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ all summer long
Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ all summer long

All summer long
Singing ´Sweet Home Alabama´ yeah
Singing all summer long
