Verse 1
Sunset drippin’ off a two-lane sky
Radio loud and the tailgate high
Ice cold cans in a red dirt cooler
You smiled at me like the night got newer
Bare feet dancing by the river bend
Bonfire sparks and your hand in my hand
Whole town buzzing like a Friday light
Yeah, we were burning through a small-town night
Pre-Chorus
Little bit of whiskey, little bit of moon
Little bit of trouble coming way too soon
Chorus
We got backroad tan lines
Blue jean summertime
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” out of key all night
Your hair blowing wild in the midnight breeze
Truck bed heartbeat underneath the stars and trees
We were young, we were free
Like a wave rolling over me
Yeah, those backroad tan lines
Still running through my mind
Verse 2
Pontoon floating out on Miller Lake
Kissing you slow while the speakers shake
Fireflies painting up the edge of town
Everybody watching the sun go down
You stole my hat, I stole your kiss
Made a little forever out of nights like this
No money, no plans, no place to be
Just you and summer and a tank of gasoline
Pre-Chorus
Little bit of heaven in the humid air
Your name still hanging everywhere
Chorus
We got backroad tan lines
Blue jean summertime
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” out of key all night
Your hair blowing wild in the midnight breeze
Truck bed heartbeat underneath the stars and trees
We were young, we were free
Like a wave rolling over me
Yeah, those backroad tan lines
Still running through my mind
Bridge
Whoa-oh, windows down flying
Whoa-oh, nowhere but the night
Whoa-oh, if summer had a soundtrack
Girl, this would be our ride
Final Chorus
Yeah, backroad tan lines
Cold beer, neon signs
Laughing while the world just faded with the county line
Your hand in mine like a perfect song
Making every mile feel like we belonged
Yeah, we were wild, we were free
That’s the way love oughta be
Those backroad tan lines
Ain’t ever leaving my mind
Outro
Sunset dripping off a two-lane sky…
Still got your kiss and these backroad tan lines.
