lyrics

VI: There’s something ‘bout September – you just can’t feel old
Singing along to songs about freedom – turnin’ down Cemetery Road
Well we all met up in Louisiana
Drove south across Lake Pontchartrain
J.D. and Becky makin’ out in the backseat – I’m jealous, but I can’t complain (x2)
CH: Cause we’re all headed down to the river
We’ll be drinking – the time of our lives
Good friends, white lies told around the fire – it’s the essence of an innocent time
VII: Sun comes up real early – this time of year
It’s 85 at 9 in the morning – Heaven help us as we carry down the gear
I grab my lights and my whiskey
My cooler of franks and beer
J.D. and Becky holdin’ hands by the water – dogs barking, everybody’s here
As another summer sunset nears
*CH, steel/gtr over CH, Intro
VIII: I can barely remember – as my yellow faded memories turn
We were young and living in the minute
No worries, no lessons yet to learn
We drank and we danced that evening - of passing time we were unaware
JD wonders whatever became of Becky – and for a moment can smell that summer air
Feel his fingers running through her hair…
CH x2, Outro
