[Verse]
The radio crackled, static and gold,
Garth was singin’ stories that never got old.
Boots on the dash, dirt road under the moon,
Pretty girls in sundresses, hummin’ a tune.
[Prechorus]
Oh, where did it go, that sweet melody?
When life felt simple, just you and me.
[Chorus]
Take me back to '98, where the neon lights would hum.
Shania on the jukebox, hearts beatin' like a drum.
Pretty girls with a two-step sway,
Nothin' fancy, just country that way.
Take me back, oh take me back to '98.
[Verse 2]
The truck bed was scratchin’ from hayrides at night,
Cold beer in hand, under stars burnin’ bright.
Songs about heartache, and love on the mend,
Back when every story felt like a friend.
[Prechorus]
Oh, where did it go, that sweet melody?
When the steel guitar could set us free.
[Chorus]
Take me back to '98, where the neon lights would hum.
Shania on the jukebox, hearts beatin' like a drum.
Pretty girls with a two-step sway,
Nothin' fancy, just country that way.
Take me back, oh take me back to '98.
