[Verse 1]

Windows down

Cruisin' 'round singin' every song they know

They're still young

Just tryna live it up 'til their blood runs cold


[Pre-Chorus]

But I can't count all these stories I've heard from family before me

How they'd backroad drink and wind up lost amongst the trees

Lettin' go of these roots has let this damn world grow so weak

God, the things I'd do to lift this ghost town off its knees


[Chorus]

Remember days that you could go roll around

Crank a little George Strait and know every face in this town

Remember days a helpin' hand could always be found

Ice cold beer and baseball games were always common ground


[Verse 2]

Summer days

Made for creek swimmin' and balin' hay

Sunday came, sit around a table and say your grace


[Pre-Chorus]

It's where my grandfather always told me to think before I speak

Hell, that's probably why he's a man I strive to be

Lettin' go of these roots has let this damn world grow so weak

God, the things I'd do to lift this ghost town off its knees


[Chorus]

Remember days that you could go roll around

Crank a little George Strait and know every face in this town

Remember days a helpin' hand could always be found

Ice cold beer and baseball games were always common ground


[Outro]

Windows down

Cruisin' 'round singin' every song that I know

'Cause I'm still young

Just tryna live it up 'fore my blood runs cold
