Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Red clay on my high-top shoes
Hand-me-down truck out back of the school
You’re shotgun
Bare feet on the dash
Smudged mascara
Cherry lip gloss laugh
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody saying we’re too young
But they never had this kind of rush
Windows sticking
August sweat
Still the best it’s ever gonna get
[Chorus]
You were my tailgate teenage Polaroid
Shaking in my hands under cheap beer noise
Hearts on fire in a parking lot sky
Swore that we were never gonna say goodbye
Singing whoa
Whoa
This is everything
Two kids chasing that forever thing
If I could rewind
I’d hit repeat
On that tailgate teenage
Tailgate teenage dream (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Friday lights fade
We don’t go home
Static on the radio
Your ringtone phone
You write your name in the fogged-up glass
“Don’t you dare forget me” with a crooked half-smile laugh
[Pre-Chorus]
Your head on my shoulder
Time stood still
Talk about leaving this town on a hill
I didn’t know what I had back then
Till the sunrise caught us and the night gave in
[Chorus]
You were my tailgate teenage Polaroid
Shaking in my hands under cheap beer noise
Hearts on fire in a parking lot sky
Swore that we were never gonna say goodbye
Singing whoa
Whoa
This is everything
Two kids chasing that forever thing
If I could rewind
I’d hit repeat
On that tailgate teenage
Tailgate teenage dream
[Bridge]
Do you ever drive down County Line 3
See that busted fence and think of me
I still taste that first kiss
Warm rain steam
You’re frozen in my head in ripped blue jeans (hey!)
[Chorus]
You were my tailgate teenage Polaroid
Shaking in my hands under cheap beer noise
Hearts on fire in a parking lot sky
Swore that we were never gonna say goodbye
Singing whoa
Whoa
This is everything
Two kids chasing that forever thing
If I could rewind
I’d hit repeat
On that tailgate teenage
Tailgate teenage dream
