Look at that worn out rusty engine
Sitting there begging for a spark
Don't look like much in that con-dition
But there was a time you should've seen her run
Down every back road in Lyle County
Under every streetlight up on Main
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
Both of us falling like a fickle rain
We were cooler than December
Hotter than July, young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
Solo
Verse
She had hair tangled as the kudzu, legs as long as the trails
That cut through those back acres to the river bend
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair, made people talk
But did not care, try anything once ain't scared of nothing
We were cooler than December
Hotter than July, young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
Solo
come on,
don't mean you forget 'em
Bridge
I still ride down those old roads
Even if it's in my mind
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time ---
We were cooler than December
Hotter than July, young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
We were cooler than December
Hotter than July, young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on, so come on, come on
