V1
We were young and in love
In Alabama
But it wasn't Birmingham and it wasn't Mobile
So we were nowhere
Dreamers with a blank stare
Running lost highways through the cotton fields

V2
You'd slide over on my bench seat
You'd make a joke and poke fun at me
Just because I kept a Bible on the dash of my truck
It ain't that I read it much
It was really just there for looks
And young love on lost highways, we needed the luck

Chorus
'cuz isn't it something
How young love can turn to nothing
If you add a little distance, and time passes by
So I said, "lets get affectionate.
Like it says in the New Testament"
We were laughing at tomorrow and grinning through the night

V3
Do you remember when we'd wonder
Go floating down the Escatawpa
We wasn't really doing nothing, but passing time
And running from the knowledge
You were soon to leave for college
And we were splashing on the creek banks, and trying no to cry

Chorus
'cuz isn't it something
How young love can turn to nothing
If you add a little distance, and time passes by
It's a shame we had to grow up
And couldn't stay in the moment
When our days were long and our passions were high

V4
I helped your daddy move ya
Into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
You better not forget me, you whispered in my ear
I couldn't smile so I faked it
We both knew I'd never make it
Even if I found the money to see you up here

Chorus
'cuz isn't it something
How young love can turn to nothing
If you add a little distance, and time passes by
But I always will remember
The summer that we spent together
Them innocent nights, 'neath the alabama skies Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
