Speakers, Bleachers And Preachers

You had a blue jean jacket,

Burnt CD

Said "you want to go somewhere fast with me?"

I picked you up, yeah

We turned it up

You had a broke-heart necklace,

Postgame smile

J-Town front page news for a while

Then we broke up

But I still turned it up

Cheerleading skirts in backseats

Free throws and church marquees

Kingsley countdown radio

Wouldn't know nothing if it weren't for all those...

Long nights and glory days

Between the Alpines,

And old King James

Yeah the better they look,

The sweeter that kiss

The shots you don't take,

The shots you gon' miss

The faster the car,

More money to burn

You laugh, you love, you live

There's a lot to learn

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

The story of my youth

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

Still got a lot of growing up to do

Kroger parking lot,

Battle scars

Black and Mild on the dash under the stars

If Daddy asks they ain't mine

82 degrees on the bank sign

And hey-ey,

Summer jams

Any Chesney song gonna make her dance

When the sun goes down,

I think about her now

And all those...

Long nights and glory days

Between the Alpines,

And old King James

Yeah the better they look,

The sweeter that kiss

The shots you don't take,

The shots you gon' miss

The faster the car,

More money to burn

You laugh, you love, you live

There's a lot to learn

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

The story of my youth

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

Still got a lot of growing up to do

Subs from my system

Rattle in my rearview

Used to listen,

With my cousin

I miss him,

He's gone now

It was the national anthem

And a knee-down prayer we were acting

Like we weren't like every other small town

Long nights and glory days

Between the Alpines,

And old King James

Yeah the better they look,

The sweeter that kiss

The shots you don't take,

The shots you gon' miss

The faster the car,

More money to burn

You laugh, you love, you live

There's a lot to learn

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

The story of my youth

From speakers and bleachers and preachers

Still got a lot of growing up to do
