All Summer Long

By Kid Rock.

LYRICS
It was 1989, my thoughts were short, my hair was long Caught somewhere between a boy and man She was seventeen and she was far from in-between It was summertime in Northern Michigan Splashing through the sand bar, talking by the campfire It's the simple things in life like when and where We didn't have no Internet but man I never will forget The way the moonlight shined upon her hair And we were trying different things, we were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long Catching Walleye from the dock Watching the waves roll off the rocks She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul <span class="line line-s"

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">We didn't have no internet 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''I would assume so if it was 1989, as the internet that everyone knows now came out in 1995. Hense, Windows 95.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And we were trying different things <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">,  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">We were smoking funny things 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Usually people who do take funny things are the same people that give you the funny things in a pill form or in a needle, not to smoke out of. Heroin, Meth, ya know. I mean, with meth, you snort it. But you don't smoke it. Weed is not really a funny thing out on the streets, I mean maybe to you southern southern southern southerner rednecks it might be.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Making love out by the lake to our favorite song 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Akon - I Wanna Fuck You.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''Actually the soul is something that the almighty Spaghetti Monster takes from you and allows you into Heaven or an inferno of eternal fire. Like that's reasonable. See, she holds a spot in your brain, not your heart, not your soul.'''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">We'd blister in the sun 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'm no bomb defuser or bike expert, but I'm pretty sure blisters can be deadly, not saying yours will be deadly, I'm just saying it's very possible.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">'''It's this line that inspired me to cover this song. OKAY. Where do I begin? Hmm, maybe by saying leaves changing is normal as ever. It happens when the seasons change. So you find nature strange? "Oh, this snake moved without feet or legs. How has this been done? My name Kid Rock and I'm clueless on this." '''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Or how we thought those days would never end 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">You know, you don't make much sense whatsoever. How, you may ask? Well, in your one line, you say "'We couldn't wait for night to come ", but when you say, "<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Or how we thought those days would never end", implying you liked those days, but hated them when you said you'd blister in the sun. If this is too confusing, how about I break it down. In a matter of 30 seconds, Kid Rock has the power to change his past emotions on how he feels about daytime. '''

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And think man I'd love to see that girl again 

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I think I speak for everyone, even Kid Rock hardcore fans, when I say she is probably blessed knowing she never has to see you again.
