C F C G C
[Verse]
C F CWe were young and in love in Alabama
C G G7But it wasn't Birmingham, it wasn't Mobile
C F CAnd so we were nowhere, dreamers with a blank stare
C G CRunning lost highways through the cotton fields
[Verse]
C F CYou'd slide over on my bench seat and make a joke and poke fun at me
C G G7Just because I kept a Bible on the dash of my truck
C F CIt ain't that I read it much, it was really just there for looks
C G C C7And young love on lost highways, you know we needed the luck
[Chorus]
C7 F C'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
F G G7If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
C F CSo I said, "Let's get affectionatе, like it says in the New Testament"
C G C G CAnd we were laughing at tomorrow and grinning through the night
[Verse]
C F CDo you remember when we'd wander, Go floating down the Escatawpa?
C G G7We wasn't really doing nothing but passing time
C F CAnd running from the knowledge you were soon to leave for college
C G C C7And splashing on the creek banks and I tried not to cry
[Chorus]
C7 F C'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
F G G7If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
C F CIt's a shame we had to grow up and couldn't stay in the moment
C G CWhen our days were long and our passions were high
[Instrumental]
C F C G C
[Verse]
C F CWell, I helped your daddy move ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
C G G7"You better not forget me", you whispered in my ear
C F CI couldn't smile, so I faked it, we both knew I'd never make it
C G C C7Even if I found the money to come to see you up here
[Chorus]
C7 F C'Cause isn't it something how young love can turn to nothing
F G G7If you add a little distance and time passеs by?
C F CBut I always will remember the summer that we spent together
C G CAnd them innocent nights 'neath the Alabama skies
