Look at that worn out rusty engine
Sittin there beggin for a spark
Don't look like much in that condition
But there was time you should have seen her run
Down every backroad in Lyle County
Under every streetlight up on Main
You're sitting there drummin on a dashboard
Both of us fallin like a fickle rain
We were
Cooler than December
Hotter than July young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on
She had hair tangled as a kudzu
Legs as long as the trails that cut through
Goes back acres to the riverbend
She had her Daddy's temper and her Momma's flair
Made people talk but did not care
Try anything once, ain't scared of nothin'
Yeah we were
Cooler than December
Hotter than July young and strong
And some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on (so come on)
Don't mean you forget em
I still ride down those old roads
Even if it's in my mind
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah just like the time
When we were
Cooler than December
Hotter than July young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
No we were
Cooler than December
Hotter than July young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're
Don't mean you forget em when they're gone
So come on (so come on)
Don't mean you forget em when they're gone
So come on (so come on)
Don't mean you forget em when they're gone
So come on (come on)
