started with a song

it was midnight at the edge of town

me and the boys just hanging out

radio up and the tailgate down

yeah we were passing something around

then a rock band that old dj

spun a little gold that was custom made

everybody hollering turn it up

holding up them dixie cups

yeah i remember right about then

i could feel a good time

a good time

a good time kicking in

it all started with a song

flicking that match on the gasoline

turning them caution lights green

when you're 17 you never felt something that strong

and you can't help but sing along

looking back on everything i've done i could do no wrong

it all started with a song

she was drop dead

i was tongue tied

she was on the passenger side

parked down by the river

but i couldn't make the move

i was so shy

yeah that's a night i would never forget

coming on the fm

her leaning in

leaning in for our first kiss

it all started with a song

flicking that match on the gasoline

turning them caution lights green

when you're young and free and never felt something that strong

and you can't help but sing along

looking back on everything i've done i could do no wrong

it all started with a song

every night when i'm standing in the spot light

beating on these 6 strings all night

yeeah the story of my life

it all started with a song

it all started with a song

flicking that match on the gasoline

turning them caution lights green

when you're young and free and never felt something that strong

and you can't help but sing along

looking back on everything i've done i could do no wrong

it all started with a song

it all started with a song

it all started with a song

flicking that match on gasoline

turning them caution lights green

yeeaaah

it all started with a song

that's right here we go

yeeah the songs are right and the mood is high

grab my baby and i hold her tight

crank that song on the radio

take her by the hand and feel her close yeeaah
