Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You pulled up in your daddy’s old Chevy
Cutoff sleeves and a six-pack smile
That summer heat hit different in Kansas
We were chasing the sun by the mile
Your dorm room dreams, my worn-out strings
And every song said the same damn thing
[Pre-Chorus]
From “Strawberry Wine” to “Your Love Is Enough”
We played ‘em loud, we played ‘em rough
Every line was a little more us
[Chorus]
We were a love song, spinning like a sunset
Backseat vows on a July night
Singing along with the windows down
Trying not to miss that light
County fairs and cheap red wine
Every word was yours and mine
We didn’t last, but we sure came on strong
For a while there, we were a love song
[Verse 2]
Fall came fast with caps and deadlines
You took that job, I hit the road
We meant those letters, swore we’d call more
But growing up don’t take things slow
Heard you danced to “Forever and Ever”
At your wedding — yeah, I still remember
[Pre-Chorus]
I played “She’s in Love with the Boy”
Just to feel seventeen again
Back when life was a chorus
And not just how it ends
[Chorus]
We were a love song, spinning like a sunset
Backseat vows on a July night
Singing along with the windows down
Trying not to miss that light
County fairs and cheap red wine
Every word was yours and mine
We didn’t last, but we sure came on strong
For a while there, we were a love song
[Bridge]
Now when I hear those radio lines
It ain’t regret — just frozen time
What we had still plays in me
Every hook, every harmony
[Final Chorus]
We were a love song, burning through the speakers
First kiss fire in a nowhere town
Two hearts writing their own verses
While the whole world spun around
Yeah, we moved on, and that’s alright
But you’re still there in every line
We didn’t last, but we never went wrong
For a while there, we were a love song
[Outro]
Yeah, for a while there…
We were a love song
