  • Long truck bed, hop in it, fire engine red like a lipstick
    Out here we can let it go, yeah
    Just me and my good friends, jug of wine lil' sip
    Out here baby you just never know
    Yeah, these are the days of gold

    Well it's a Southern summer
    Whiskey's in the air, dog's on the burner
    Beer's ice cold, got a pretty little lady to hold
    Southern summer
    And that sun shining down like Daddy's silver dollar
    Gotta hop on the old dirt road to the days of gold

    The July sky, so high moon shining by the river side
    Stealing hearts and running wild
    In our own little world, Tennessee boys and girls running free
    Out here it's good times for miles
    Yeah, these are the days of gold

    Well it's a Southern summer
    Whiskey's in the air, dog's on the burner
    Beer's ice cold, got a pretty little lady to hold
    Southern summer
    And that sun shining down like Daddy's silver dollar
    Gotta hop on the old dirt road to the days of gold

    A little bit of you, a little bit of me
    What you wanna do, what's it gonna be
    We can get a wild, we can live free
    Or you can shake it for me baby like a tambourine
    Slice the watermelon and you spit the seed
    Sweat on your back's stickin' to the seat
    We can sneak off to beat the heat
    I'll be buzzing on you honey like a bumble bee

    Yeah, it's a Southern summer
    Whiskey's in the air, dog's on the burner
    Beer's ice cold, got a pretty little lady to hold
    Southern summer
    And that sun shining down like Daddy's silver dollar
    Gotta hop on the old dirt road to the days of gold Writer/s: JAREN JOHNSTON, NEIL MASON
