I was Ringo star of the dashboard drummers,
You were turning up the radio.
Sitting in the middle, playing air fiddle,
You were hotter than a summer back road.
And it’s crazy how I remember that perfectly
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
With a Jerry Jeff sticker on the glass.
We cut through the night like the KC lights
Knowing summertime wasn’t gonna last
And we swore that wouldn’t matter
And we’d stay like that together
But we’re not, cause we’re not 19 forever.
I remember the time you asked me for a ride,
If I could teach you how to drive stick.
You burned through the clutch and I burned to touch
Every tan line wrapping your skin
And I still see every memory.
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
With a Jerry Jeff sticker on the glass.
We cut through the night like the KC lights
Knowing summertime wasn’t gonna last
And we swore that wouldn’t matter
And we’d stay like that together
But we’re not, no we’re not 19 forever.
And I still sing along
With all those old songs
Well, I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong,
I know it’s wrong.
I gotta move on.
When we set sail away in a white Chevrolet
With a Jerry Jeff sticker on the glass.
We cut through the night like the KC Lights
Knowing summertime wasn’t gonna last
And we swore that wouldn’t matter
And we'd stay like that together
But we’re not, cause we’re not 19 forever
