Lyrics

[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)
