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
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
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
We were smoking funny things
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
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 and roll
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
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
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
[Repeat Chorus x2]
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

vocal I absolutely loved this song - it's catchy, with a great tune (yes, I know, they nicked it off Sweet Home Alabama, but still) and I think a really nice toe-tapper

vocal I love this song.. i'm not a big fan of Kid Rock, but this one is really cool. It's got the same feeling as Bryan Adams' Summer of 69.
This song is on the Music Choice top 40 channel way more than any other song for some reason. I only watch it a couple hours a day off and on and this song has been on 6 or 8 times in the last week (that I've seen who knows how many times I missed). I understand they play the current singles more often than old top 40 stuff, but this is ridiculous.

vocal I happen to reaaally like this song.
So yeah, they used the riffs from Sweet Home Alabama, and Werewolf in London, but Kid Rock did say in one of his interviews that they weren't ripped off, it's a tribute.
This song MAKES and is basically my summer.
