Slow Burn

Got my first keys to freedom
She had a sweet smile with her hair in the wind
And my hand on her knee, made me king of the world for a little while
Yeah, she was something back then

Pedal down on the blacktop
Fogged up on a side road
Young love and the radio, all summer long

Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn
Same sky full of stars, still shining no matter how the world turns
It's a song, it's a face, it's a time, it's a place
In your life that belongs to her
Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn

We cooled those blazing Georgia days on a lake shore
And her sun-kissed skin
That summer went fast, but lingers like sand on a floorboard
Yeah, she was something back then

Nighttime on the boat dock
Fireflies and pine smoke
Young love and the radio, all summer long

Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn
Same sky full of stars still shining no matter how the world turns
It's a song, it's a face
It's a time, it's a place in your life that belongs to her
Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn

First time feelings never fade
When it's real like that, you know
When I think about you, there I go
Young love and the radio, all summer long

Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn
Same sky full of stars still shining no matter how the world turns
It's a song, it's a face
It's a time, it's a place in your life that belongs to her
Sometimes a memory like that is a slow burn
