ALL SUMMER LONG

Πριν από ένα χρόνο περίπου είχα γράψει για μία εφηβική μου ανάμνηση, εκεί στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 80, με αφορμή μία πανσέλληνο και ένα τραγούδι των Λαθρεπιβατών. Κάτι ανάλογο εξιστορεί και ο (συνομήλικος μου) Kid Rock κατά κόσμον Robert James "Bob" Ritchie στο τραγούδι All Summer Long.

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

We'd blister in the sun

We couldn't wait for night to come

To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things

And 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

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Or how we thought those days would never end

Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along

And think man I'd love to see that girl again

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
