"All Summer Long" lyrics

"All Summer Long"

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
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no Internet
But man, I never will forget
The way the 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
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long

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

While we were trying different things
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

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
(Man I'd love to see that girl again) Yeah

And we were trying different things
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
And we were trying different things
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

Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all-summer long
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
All-summer long

"All Summer Long" is the third single from his seventh studio album.
Kid Rock explained backstage at the "Tonight Show starring Jimmy Falon" (in November 2014) how he wrote "All Summer Long". He said that his engineer had played him "Werewolves Of London" (Warren Zevon) looped-up-over beat, and he had started to play "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) on his guitar. Both melodies fitted perfectly and they created a song out of it with original lyrics.
The music video for this song was filmed in Nashville Tennessee. Kid Rock is shown driving a boat, partying and singing on a lake.
The song was performed by Kid Rock at the 2009 Grammy Awards ceremony.
