American Summers

[Verse 1]
She was a flash in my life like a bolt through the sky
We were both eighteen, learning to fly
When she told me she loved me in the back of my buddies truck
Oh, how the sweet smell of those summer memories fade
Sometimes wish I could relive those days
We laughed, we cried, we lived life wild
And, when I close my eyes, I see you one more timе

[Chorus]
We used to drive all night down thеm country roads
Blazin' trail, raisin' hell with our brothers
Passin' grandpa's whiskey in that bonfire smoke
Tellin' tales and lies about lovers
Drinkin' one right after the other
Took a whole day and night to recover
From those American summers

[Verse 2]
In a midnight blue Chevy, kill the headlights
A young gun wildin' runnin' red lights
Shotgun tucked underneath the stepside
Me and my brothers just runnin' the west side
American flag, back of the window
Rolln' up a zag, dad's old Pinto
Sippin' old crow knowin' it's stolen
Same damn bottle grandad was holdin'
Five miles out where there's no police
She lit the flame by an old oak tree
Shiftin' gears, she was movin' fast
Burn it slow so the memories last

[Chorus]
We used to drive all night down them country roads
Blazin' trail, raisin' hell with our brothers
Passin' grandpa's whiskey in that bonfire smoke
Tellin' tales and lies about lovers
Drinkin' one right after the other
Took a whole day and night to recover
From those American summers

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We used to drive all night down them country roads
Blazin' trail, raisin' hell with our brothers
Passin' grandpa's whiskey in that bonfire smoke
Tellin' tales and lies about lovers
We used to drive all night down them country roads
Blazin' trail, raisin' hell with our brothers
Passin' grandpa's whiskey in that bonfire smoke
Tellin' tales and lies about lovers
Drinkin' one right after the other
Took a whole day and night to recover
From those American summers

[Outro]
It's my American summer
It's my American summer (From those American summers)
It's my American summer
It's my American summer (From those American summers)
