Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red dirt driveway Cooler in the back of the old blue Ford Kids in the sprinkler Flip-flops slappin' down the weathered porch Suncream Smoke in the air Somebody’s uncle tellin’ that same joke again You roll up grinnin’ And just like that it all begins [Chorus] Those are the days that I still love Texas summers runnin’ through my blood Fireworks shakin’ in a paper cup BBQ fingers and a plastic plate piled up Cold beer sweatin’ in my hand Laughter leanin’ on a tailgate band Sun goin’ down in a blaze above Those are the days that I still love (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Bare feet Boombox Floatin’ off the dock in the evenin’ glow Borrowed old Zebco Line cuttin’ ripples in the undertow You catch nothin’ We don’t care We’re just countin’ how the sky turns gold You steal my ball cap Say “Keep this picture when we’re old” [Chorus] Those are the days that I still love Texas summers runnin’ through my blood Fireworks shakin’ in a paper cup BBQ fingers and a plastic plate piled up Cold beer sweatin’ in my hand Laughter leanin’ on a tailgate band Sun goin’ down in a blaze above Those are the days that I still love [Bridge] Years roll by like a westbound train But I close my eyes I’m right back again Smoke in my shirt Mustard on my sleeve All I ever wanted Was right there with me (hey!) [Chorus] Those are the days that I still love Texas summers runnin’ through my blood Fireworks shakin’ in a paper cup BBQ fingers and a plastic plate piled up Cold beer sweatin’ in my hand Good friends yellin’ out my name again Sun goin’ down Can’t get enough Those are the days that I still love Those are the days that I still love

folk, Bright front-porch folk with acoustic guitar strums locked to a light train beat, male vocals. Harmonica riffs answer vocal phrases and swell into the chorus. Handclaps and foot-stomps lift the hook; final chorus adds gang vocals on the title line, ending on a warm, held harmonica note that fades like a summer evening., acoustic
