Barefoot Blue Jean Night
Southern Summer Nights: A Tale of Youthful Freedom and Romance
Lyrics
A full moon shinin' bright
A full moon shining brightly
Edge of the water, we were feelin' alright
By the water's edge, feeling good
Back down a country road
Heading back on a country road
The girls are always hot, and the beer is ice cold
Country setting with attractive girls and cold beer
Cadillac, horns on the hood
Cadillac with horns on the hood
My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good
Friend's dad hooked him up with a nice car
Girls smile when we roll by
Girls smile as they drive by
They hop in the back, and we cruise to the river side
Girls join them in the back as they cruise to the riverside
Never gonna grow up (Whoa-oh)
Commitment to never grow up
Never gonna slow down (Whoa-oh)
Determination to never slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
Feeling alive and vibrant like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (Whoa-oh)
In the midst of a rock show
We were doin' it right (Whoa-oh)
Doing things right and coming alive
We were comin' alive (Whoa-oh)
Full of life and energy
Yeah, caught in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Immersed in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Describing a girl with blue eyes and auburn hair
Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
Sitting elegantly by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town, and new to me
New to town and new to the narrator
Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea
Describing the girl's appealing lips sipping sweet tea
Shot me in love like a shootin' star
Love striking like a shooting star
So, I grabbed a beer and an old guitar
Narrator grabbing a beer and an old guitar
Then we sat around till the break of dawn
Sitting around until the break of dawn
Howlin' and singin' our favorite song
Howling and singing their favorite song
Never gonna grow up (Whoa-oh)
Reiteration of the commitment to never grow up
Never gonna slow down (Whoa-oh)
Reiteration of the determination to never slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
Repeating the vibrant feeling like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (Whoa-oh)
Reiteration of being in the middle of a rock show
We were doin' it right (Whoa-oh)
Repeating the idea of doing things right
We were comin' alive (Whoa-oh)
Reiteration of coming alive and feeling energetic
Yeah, caught up in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Still immersed in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Whoa-oh, never gonna grow up, ha
Reiteration of the commitment to never grow up
Never gonna slow down
Reiteration of the determination to never slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
Repeating the vibrant feeling like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show (Whoa-oh)
Reiteration of being in the middle of a rock show
We were doin' it right (Whoa-oh)
Repeating the idea of doing things right
We were comin' alive (Whoa-oh)
Repeating the feeling of coming alive and being energetic
Yeah, caught in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Still caught in a southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh)
Repeating the refrain, emphasizing the carefree and lively night
Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh)
-Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh)
-Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh)
-Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh)
-Barefoot, blue jean night
Final repetition of the carefree and lively night
