She was sittin' all alone over on the tailgate

Tan legs swingin' by a Georgia plate

I was lookin' for her boyfriend

Thinkin', no way she ain't got one

Soon as I sat down I was fallin' in love
The singer falls in love upon sitting down.
Tryin' to pour a little sugar in her Dixie cup

Talkin' over the speakers in the back of that truck
Conversations over truck speakers.
She jumped up and cut me off
The girl interrupts the singer excitedly.
She was like, oh my God, this is my song

I've been listenin' to the radio all night long

She was like, come here boy, I wanna dance
The girl invites the singer to dance.
'Fore I said a word, she was takin' my hand

Spinnin' me around 'til it faded out

And she gave me a kiss

And she said, play it again, play it again, play it again

I'd have gave that DJ my last dime

If he would have played it just one more time

But a little while later
Transition to a later scene.
We were sittin' in the drive in my truck
They are sitting in the singer's truck.
Before I walked her to the door
Preparing to walk the girl to the door.
I was scannin' like a fool AM, FM, XM too
The singer scans radio channels for the song.
But I stopped real quick when I heard that groove
The singer stops at the familiar groove of the song.
Man, you should have seen her light up

We've been listenin' to the radio all night long

I can't believe it came back on, but here it is

'Fore I said a word, she was takin' my hand

Spinnin' in the headlights she gave me a goodnight kiss

And I said, play it again, play it again, play it again
The girl asks to play the song again.
And she said, play it again, play it again, play it again

The next Friday night we were sittin' out under the stars

You should have seen her smile when I brought out my guitar
