1. It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was 17 and she was far from in between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
2. Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' 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
R: And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things
Makin' love out by the lake to our favorite songs
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
Singin' sweet home alabama all summer long
3. Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' 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 sandy place of rock 'n roll
R: And we were tryin' different...
(Solo)
4. Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Oh 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 like to see that girl again
R: And we were tryin' different... (2x)
