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
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Verse 2 (clean guitar like verse 1 + riffs below)

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire (Riff 1)
It's the simple things in life, like when and where (Riff 2)
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the (Riff 3) 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 (A)
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
(B) Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Verse 3 (clean guitar like verse 1 + riffs like verse 2)

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks (Riff 1)
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul (Riff 2)
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand (Riff 3) and play some rock and roll


Chorus (like above):

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
