"Some Songs Change Your World" lyrics

98 plus in the shade
Melting into your lemonade
Had to be the best July 14th
God ever made
Cross-legged on a Subaru hood
Catching seeds off a cottonwood
You were talking to a friend
Making being nineteen in a tan look good

A new sound rolling out the
Powered-down window of a passenger door
Woulda sworn I knew it
But I knew I never heard it before

I guess some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic
In the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it
Is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world

Caught your eye 'cross the boat ramp lot
Looking like a heatwave mirage
So I took my best rock 'n' roll
"Hey! How you doing? What's your name?" best shot
Did my best James-Dean-Springsteen-not-give-a-damn
But I was shaking when you smiled
Wrote your number on the back of my hand
I didn't know it back then

But some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic
In the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it
Is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world

A three-minute revelation
From a radio station
Somewhere on the edge of town
They didn't know what they were playing
Or the soul they were saving
But the earth stopped spinning around

I guess some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic
In the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it
Is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world
I guess some songs change your world
Yeah, some songs change your world
