Your shades on my dashboard
Shoes on my floorboard
Lived in that old Chevrolet
We were two Roman candles
Too hot to handle
Two hearts that couldn't be tamed
Yeah we knew what was comin'
And laughed it off
Like it was nothin'
Oh but time kept on runnin'
And runnin' away
Yeah what can I say
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
Than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather
Wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' on to each other
Closin' our eyes sayin'
Slow down summer
I was beggin' those leaves
Don't go changin' on me
Friday night lights stay away
But the 4th of July was
Just smoke in the sky
And our sunburns
Were startin' to fade
Yeah we knew what was comin'
And laughed it off
Like it was nothin'
Oh but time kept on runnin'
And runnin' away
Yeah those were the days
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
Than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather
Wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' onto each other
Closin' our eyes sayin'
Slow down summer
Why couldn't you slow down summer
Just wait a minute
We weren't finished
Can we just hold on to each other
Take me back to the beginnin'
Oh oh-oh oh
Slow down summer
Slow down summer
Yeah those were the days
We had our hopes up
And the windows down
Fallin' fast in a one-lane town
Tangled up with your lips on mine
Never seen a brighter green
Than those eyes and
I put my jacket on your shoulder
Wishin' the weather
Wasn't gettin' colder
Lettin' you go
Holdin' on to each other
Closin' our eyes sayin'
Slow down summer
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Slow down summer yeah
Why couldn't you slow down summer
Why couldn't you slow down
Slow down ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Why couldn't you slow down summer
