"She Was September" lyrics

I remember seventeen
Lazy days in July heat
Mama sayin' are you gonna sleep all summer long
August cam and August went
I was gettin' books for school again
That's the time that she moved in three doors down
From then on I was captured by
A little blonde with hazel eyes
I can't explain the butterflies when she climbed in my window one night

And said wake up, wake up sleepy boy
So soft and low I heard her voice
You gotta see the moonlight on the river
So we ran down fell down in the grass
Love as young and wild and goin' fast
I gave my heart a complete surrender
I remember when she was September

When I think about my first truck
I probably never really drove it that much
All I remember is steamin' it up
With her in my arms
The first I heard about Santa Fe
I caught her holdin' back tears one day
She said her daddy found a job he's gotta take
And that's where they're movin'
Before we had to say goodbye
She came over late that night
She walked in I closed my eyes
So I could hear her one more time

Wake up, wake up sleepy boy
So soft and low I heard her voice
You gotta see the moonlight on the river
So we ran down fell down in the grass
Love as young and wild and goin' fast
I gave my heart a complete surrender
I remember when she was September

It's been years
Since I've laid down
And not heard the sound
That I'm hearin' now

Wake up, wake up sleepy boy
So soft and low I hear her voice
You gotta see the moonlight on the river
So we ran down fell down in the grass
Love as young and wild and goin' fast
I gave my heart a complete surrender
I remember when she was September
She was September
