[Verse 1]
Em G
Laying back against this windshield

Parked out in this Georgia red field

This is where we burn our summer nights

Moonlit lipstick kisses on the hood of our tacoma

We were seventeen, going on free and wild

She was smoking hot, a whiskey shot of cherry coke
C G D
Sparks were flying every time I smelled smoke
[Chorus]

I'm sitting by a bonfire watching her swaying

Me and my buddies and the guitar playing
Em C
Sipping on forties on a saturday night

Buzzing through a chorus of dixieland delight

Those summer days drifting away, she'll always float

Back through my mind like smoke

July flames, october ashes

Summer skin and blue jean flashes

Strike a match and light a memory

Never said goodbye, we let it fly into thin air

Tonight I'm stoned, on long-gone love so strong I swear
