me and britney

me and britney used to sit on the front porch drinking lemonade

talking about things no one else was ever supposed to hear

in the summer shade

she said she was gonna be a movie star

and i said she was crazy

catching dreams and fireflies in a jar

just me and britney

oh

oh

we were babies

we were beautiful and free

oh

oh

there was nothing that was out of reach

for me and britney

she never made it to hollywood but she made it to memphis

and this little old town just hasn't been the same since

that boy she went ran off with

well i thought he was crazy

maybe i was just jealous that he'd come between me and britney

oh

oh

she was in love

she was beautiful and free

oh

oh

she was always so much braver than me

when the phone rang in the middle of the night

before she said a word i knew it was her

she said i'm sorry for waking you up but i didn't know who else to call

or where else to go

me and britney sat down on the front porch

talking about love and how it changes things

changes people and it changes names and everything but me and britney

oh

oh

we're not as young

but we're still beautiful and free

oh

oh

even when we're old

we're still gonna be

me and britney sitting on the front porch drinking lemonade

talking about things no one else was ever gonna hear in the summer shade
