It was nineteen eighty-nine

my thoughts were short

my hair was long

caught somewhere

between a boy and man

She was seventeen

and she was far

from in-between

it was summertime

in Northern Michigan

Splashin' through

the sand bar

talkin' by the campfire

it's the simple things in life

like when and where

We didn't have no internet

but man, I never will forget

the way the moonlight

shined upon her hair

And we were tryin'

different things

we were smokin' funny things

makin' love out by the lake

to our favourite song

Sippin' whiskey

out the bottle

not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Catchin' Walleye

from the dock

watchin' the waves

roll off the rocks

she'll forever hold

a spot inside my soul

We'd blister in the sun

we couldn't wait

for night to come

to hit that sand and

play some rock and roll

While we were tryin'

different things

and we were

smokin' funny things

makin' love out by the lake

to our favourite song

Sippin' whiskey

out the bottle

not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

turn it up!

Now nothing seems as

strange as when the leaves

began to change

oh, how we thought those

days would never end

Sometimes I hear that song

and I'll start to sing along

and think man, I'd love

to see that girl again

Ow! Hey!

And we were tryin'

different things

and we were

smokin' funny things

makin' love out by the lake

to our favourite song

Sippin' whiskey

out the bottle

not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

We were tryin'

different things

and we were

smokin' funny things

makin' love out by the lake

to our favourite song

Sippin' whiskey

out the bottle

not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

singin' sweet home Alabama

all summer long

Singin' home sweet

home Alabama, yeah

Singin' all summer long...
