Rachel and her friends pass by last night Floatin' on the summer scene If I'd known the world I know by now I'd have told you what you meant to me How I learned about the truth in a Chevrolet van Sitting in the passenger seat With your right hand on the radio The melody's just for me You're everything that Louisville will forever be You're everything that Louisville will forever be Rachel and her friends pass by last night Swingin' through a summer's dream If I'd known the ending earlier I'd have come down from my tree 'Cause I'd never heard a whistle in the wind 'Till you threw it down at my feet While the songs in the South can change your life The cardinal sings to thee You're everything that Louisville will forever be You're everything that Louisville will forever be From the drivers' seat You threw away the keys You could hear me breathe I could hear you breathe Because you told me not to speak For the silence of the street I learned how to see What we cannot seek Rachel and her friends pass by last night Floatin' on the summer scene We don't have to say goodbye You will always be with me You're everything that Louisville will forever be You're everything that Louisville will forever be
