Sunset by the lake It looked just like a dream My world stopped on a dime When she hopped out of that jeep All my Buddy said " Boy don't waste your time" She's out of your league but I was out of my mind (Chorus) That girl bare foot in a sun dress Top down hair in a wild mess Sweet smile singing to the summer of 69 That girl just a little crazy Green eyed sweet child of Dixie Everything I ever hoped I'd find in That girl They say some people never change Girl I know its true Cause you still turn me on As much as you used to And every time we touch I'm still 17 And in my arms you'll always be. Repeat Chorus 2x Top down Sweet smile singing to that summer of 69
