We were both 17 when we met on a Carolina shore
Heart was on the floor
Burnin' like the July heat
The way you made me feel
When we kissed that night on the beach
swore we were meant to be
But you went back home to ‘Bama
With my heart on your sleeve
We were livin' in a country song
Playin’ George Strait all night long
‘Bama tee with no makeup on
Yeah we took the long way home
I fell in love with a Southern girl
On the tailgate of my Southern world
Nothing left we left it all
then summer turned into fall
We were livin' in a country song
Five years later I saw you walk into the bar
I was playing my guitar
Right then I forgot
The words to Ocean Front Property
You ditched all your girls and
We caught up in my front seat
Said you love Tennessee
I begged you not to leave
We were livin' in a country song
Playin’ George Strait all night long
‘Bama tee with no makeup on
Yeah we took the long way home
I fell in love with a Southern girl
On the tailgate of my Southern world
Nothing left we left it all
then summer turned into fall
We were livin' in a country song
Started with check yes or no
But we took that winding country road
You got the ring, and I got the dog
Who would have thought we’d ever be
Locked down In love in Tennessee
You and I are gonna be forever long
Livin' in a country song
Playin’ George Strait all night long
‘Bama tee with no makeup on
Yeah we took the long way home
I fell in love with a Southern girl
On the tailgate of my Southern world
Nothing left we left it all
then summer turned into fall
We were livin' in a country song
This right here is a country song
