D
Cover band ona Flora-Bama deck
G
A thousand sun-burned souls
A
Rum-runners and cold Bud Light
           G
A little Friday night summertime rock and roll

Packed in tight, they were singin' along
I was hanging on the edge of the crowd
When you spilled your beer down the back of my shirt
     G         D/F#        Em A
You had me when I turned around

Chorus:
G       A       D
Guitars on the Gulf breeze
  G           A         D
Smoke rings 'round the neon
 G        A         Bm
Moonlight in your blue eyes
             Em      A            D
'Neath that Georgia hat that you had on
G         A        D
Just one night to hold you
          G         A       Bm
No, that ain't what I call fair
         G   A        D     D/F#
But the memories burn in my mind
       G        A           D
Like those lighters in the air
G        A       D
Lighters in the air

That one look led to a walk on the beach
And more kisses than I could count
The best kind of wild and down-home smile
I've ever had these arms around

The ams were screamin' and the people were too
While were slow dancing on our bare feet
Ain't it funny how we missed it all
And still didn't miss a thing?

Chorus

Em
The thought of you won't let me go
       G
It's been holding on for years
Em
It don't take much to take me back
A
Everytime I hear

Chorus

Raise your lighters in the air
