It's the start of another summer I don't think it could get much hotter
As the sun rises high in the sky
It's the start of another season there can only be one reason
Why I work hard as I do to get by
Here in sweet home Alabama Is my best girl, gotta have her
She's the only thing that makes me stay
Fancy things, I don't need 'em It's the simple life I'm dreamin' of
When the day is done, is when I'll play
And it's you and me a picnic basket and a shade tree
As the sun sinks slowly out of sight
We dance slowly in the moonlight with the fireflies glowing so bright
A simple summer night between us two just me and you
Time goes by at a snail's pace but a smile stays on my my face
Day dreaming of my woman back at home
5 o'clock finally shows up time to fire up my truck
And get back to her arms where I belong
Down a 2 lane country back road
Is a spot that know one knows of
Far away enough from prying eyes
Me and my girl forget the whole world
As we turn up some Merle
Yeah, it's our little piece of paradise
And it's you and me a picnic basket and a shade tree
As the sun sinks slowly out of sight
We dance slowly in the moonlight with the fireflies glowing so bright
A simple summer night between us two just me and you
In this world of complication aggravation and frustration
There's nothing simpler than love
And it's you and me a picnic basket and a shade tree
As the sun sinks slowly out of sight
We dance slowly in the moonlight with the fireflies glowing so bright
A simple summer night between us two just me and you
And it's you and me a picnic basket and a shade tree
As the sun sinks slowly out of sight
We dance slowly in the moonlight with the fireflies glowing so bright
A simple summer night between us two just me and you
