All Summer Long Lyrics

It was 1989 my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man,
She was 17 and she was far from in-between
It was summer-time in Northern Michigan

Splashing through the sand-bar, talking by the camp fire,
It's the simple things in life like when and where
We didn't have no internet but man I never will forget
The way the moon light shined upon her hair

[chorus]
And, we were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Catching walleye from the dock watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that saving place of rock and roll

[chorus]
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves begin to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I hear that song and I start to sing along
And think, Man I'd love to see that girl again

And, we were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

We were trying different things we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whisky out the bottle not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long (x5)

i love both sweet home alabama (im a huge lynyrd skynyrd fan) and werewolves of london and i think it's brilliant Kid Rock uses them very catchy song, brilliant love it

Does no one understand this song is a mashup? It sounds a lot like those other tunes because it is purposely build from them as a tribute. Listen to the lyrics, it's all about remembering songs attached to memories in your past. Doh.

I've never really been a fan of Kid Rock but have to admit I really like this song. Reading an interview with him about this song he contacted both Warren Zevon's son and also the Lynyrd Skynyrd estate to get permission. Additionally, Billy Powell (from Lynyrd Skynyrd) plays piano on the song.

The song is about looking back on the days when we were young and remembering the great times we had with our first love.

Kid Rock uses Sweet Home Alabama to remember the girl who captured his soul in his youth.

It truly is a beautiful song, with deep dear meaning.

Wow, no one has commented on this fantastic song yet? I love the "Sweet Home Alabama" sample. In fact, I like this version better than that one which is saying a lot.

I love the first verse because it reminds me of past summers in the gorgeous state of Michigan where I live.

i like this song quite a fair bit, however, i think its kinda lame that he just used warren zevon's warewolves of london, and sweet home alabama, and then put an extra beat on it

but other then that 2 thumbs up

i do agree it is pretty lame that he can't write his own beats and coppied off those. but you do have to admit that he pretty much put those songs toghether perfectly and it sounds really good the way they go together like that

An error occured.

this song reminds me of wearwolves of london and sweet home alabama. i also think this song is about kid rocks child hood.

and this song is sweet cuz it reminds me of my summers in my home state of michigan
