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, yeah
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 over 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, yeah
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 spotlight
And beating on these six strings all night
Yeah, 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, yeah
When you're young and free, and never felt something so 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 a gasoline
Turning them caution lights green
Yeah, it all started with a song
That's right
Here we go
Yeah, 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, yeah
