"Charleston, WV" lyrics

Baby, you and I used to shine so bright
Like the morning sun
Sitting back in my old truck driving through town
We were born to run
The red, white, and blue stars shining in the sky
I could feel the innocence burning in our eyes
On a funnel cake, county fair, summertime ferris wheel ride
That's right
Do you ever think about those days?
They say nostalgia just comes in waves
Here I am about to drown
'Cause it all seems so far away

We were dancing in the moonlight out in Charleston, West Virginia
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama," taking walks down on the river
Sneaking into scary movies, eating Papa Johns for dinner
Girl, I know it's been a while, I just hope that you remember
The kid that you met back in high school
You said that you loved him
Then life, it got rough, so you left
I'm just thinking 'bout all of the time that we spent
I know you moved on, I just hope that you didn't forget

How I made you feel, how I made you laugh
How it felt to drive real fast
You put your hand in mine, pulled me in close
Tell me that you love me, tell me that you never let me go
My mama still talks about you, she asks how you livin'
I said I heard from your cousin that you just started a business
You've been grinding forever, I hope you're making a killing
I know you're doing what you love, and it's making a difference
I hope it all works out, everything you dreamed about
Just look at you now, so far from our hometown

We were dancing in the moonlight out in Charleston, West Virginia
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama," taking walks down on the river
Sneaking into scary movies, eating Papa Johns for dinner
Girl, I know it's been a while, I just hope that you remember
The kid that you met back in high school
You said that you loved him
Then life, it got rough, so you left
I'm just thinking 'bout all of the time that we spent
I know you moved on, I just hope that you didn't forget

I hope you don't forget about me
Baby, don't forget about me
Nah, you can't forget about
What it felt like when we

Were dancing in the moonlight out in Charleston, West Virginia
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama," taking walks down on the river
Sneaking into scary movies, eating Papa Johns for dinner
Girl, I know it's been a while, I just hope that you remember
The kid that you met back in high school
You said that you loved him
Then life, it got rough, so you left
I'm just thinking 'bout all of the time that we spent
I know you moved on, I just hope that you didn't forget
