  • I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
    In the front seat of his car
    He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
    The other on my heart
    I look around, turn the radio down
    He says, "Baby, is somethin' wrong?"
    I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin'
    How we don't have a song"
    And he says

    Our song is the slammin' screen door
    Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
    When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
    'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
    Our song is the way you laugh
    The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
    And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
    Askin' God if he could play it again

    I was walkin' up the front porch steps
    After everything that day
    Had gone all wrong, had been trampled on
    And lost and thrown away
    Got to the hallway, well on my way
    To my lovin' bed
    I almost didn't notice all the roses
    And the note that said

    Our song is the slammin' screen door
    Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
    When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
    'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
    Our song is the way you laugh
    The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
    And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
    Askin' God if he could play it again

    Da-da-da, da

    I've heard every album, listened to the radio
    Waited for somethin' to come along
    That was as good as our song

    'Cause our song is the slammin' screen door
    Sneakin' out late, tappin' on his window
    When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
    'Cause it's late and his mama don't know
    Our song is the way he laughs
    The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
    And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
    Askin' God if he could play it again
    Play it again
    Oh, yeah
    Oh, oh, yeah

    I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
    In the front seat of his car
    I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
    And I wrote down our song Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift

  • Ned from AustraliaI love this T.S song, It's so amazing. :))))
  • Rikki from Huntington Beach, CaThis song is absolutely adorable and used to be my anthem as a teen! One note to this article though: It is correct in stating that the song was written while she was dating the same boy from her song "Tim McGraw". His name was Brandon, though, not Drew. Drew is who "Teardrops On My Guitar" is written about, whom she never dated. They were just friends, though she wished to be more at the time. Drew DID show up on her driveway a couple of years after the release of the album, and all the following of that story is accurate. Just wanted to clarify that "Our Song" and "Tim McGraw" are not about her and Drew!
