Freshman Year
Nostalgic Echoes of First Love: Brantley Gilbert's Freshman Year Tale
Lyrics
Saturday night my first high school dance
Saturday night marks the beginning of my high school experience, attending my first school dance.
Showin' up late in my Sundays best
I arrived late, dressed in my best outfit for Sundays.
Seen you before ah but not in that dress
I've seen you before, but not in such an attractive dress.
The DJ's last song and I lost the dare
The DJ plays the last song, and I take a risk in response to a dare.
So with my heart and my pride on the line
With my emotions and pride at stake, I ask you to dance for the first time.
I asked you to dance for our first time right there
Our first dance happens right there.
Holding hands in the hall
We hold hands in the school hallway.
All night wait for your call its 2 am and were still on the phone
We spend the entire night waiting for your call, talking on the phone until 2 am.
Hanging out at the mall oh that old picture show
We hang out at the mall and enjoy an old picture show.
I reach for your lips girl first taste of love
I reach for your lips, experiencing the first taste of love.
That old ford truck was your daddy's worst fear
Your father's worst fear is that old Ford truck.
Oh I remember the way love felt in freshman year
Fond memories of the emotions and love felt during freshman year.
Graduated in may we went our separate ways
We graduate in May and go our separate ways.
Til the hole in my heart was too much to take
The pain in my heart becomes too much, prompting you to visit my dorm room.
You made that drive down to my dorm room that night
You come to my dorm room that night.
Every knock at the door you go and hide
Every knock at the door, you hide.
And I thought I'd drown in the tears that you cried
I fear drowning in the tears you shed.
Just a holdin' on tight
We cling to each other tightly.
We found a way to relight that old fire that night
We find a way to rekindle the old flame that night.
We were young and wild hanging out too late at night
We were young and wild, staying out late at night.
At all those college bars, cheap natty light
We frequent college bars, drinking cheap beer (natty light).
Just like one of the guys you stuck right by my side
You, like one of the guys, stick by my side.
At every football game there with a smile
You attend every football game with a smile.
Two in the crowd screaming "go dogs. go!"
We cheer together in the crowd, supporting the team with enthusiasm.
Oh I remember the way love felt in freshman year
Fond memories of the emotions and love felt during freshman year.
Oh we're still young and wild hanging out to late at night
We're still young and wild, continuing our late-night adventures.
In all these college bars. cheap natty light
We hang out at college bars, still enjoying cheap beer.
Just like one of the guys you stuck right by my side
You remain by my side like one of the guys.
At every football game there with a smile
Smiling, you accompany me to every football game.
Two in the crowd screaming "go dogs, go!"
We cheer together in the crowd, passionately supporting the team.
Oh I remember the way love felt in freshman year
Fond memories of the emotions and love felt during freshman year.
Oh that's freshman year
Reflection on the nostalgic experiences of freshman year.
