Prompt / 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
