Sittin' on the Tailgate
Summer Nights on the Tailgate: A Serenade Under the Stars
Lyrics
I’m sittin’ on the tailgate strummin’ my guitar
I am sitting on the tailgate, playing my guitar.
With an ice cold beer there starin’ at the stars
Enjoying an ice-cold beer, looking at the stars.
And I’ve got you right beside me swayin’ back and forth
You are next to me, swaying together.
Just a drivin’ me crazy like no girl before
You are driving me crazy in a way no other girl has.
Well I could take a guess now and that’s all that it is
I could guess, but you're dropping hints, staring at my lips.
But you’re hintin’ pretty hard girl starin’ at my lips
Your strong hints may lead to trouble on a night like this.
And that’s the kinda trouble that’ll make a night like this
The trouble of wanting to kiss, so go ahead and kiss me.
So come on girl and plant your kiss
Inviting the kiss.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
I’m thinkin’ ’bout how lovely that you are
Reflecting on your loveliness.
Have a couple cold ones
Having a few cold drinks.
And spend the night in each others arms
Planning to spend the night together.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
I'm hopin’ that the sun don’t interrupt
Hoping the sun doesn't end the moment.
Make this last forever
Wishing for the moment to last forever.
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll ever get enough
Expressing the desire for an everlasting experience.
Girl you’re lookin’ so good I can’t help but stare
Complimenting how good you look.
With that strap down off your shoulder it ain’t even fair
Noting the attractiveness, especially with a strap off the shoulder.
Ya you’ve got my heart a racin’ well beyond compare
Your presence makes the heart race beyond compare.
Gettin’ tangled up together in this summer air
Getting entangled in the summer air together.
An’ I’d love nothin’ more than for you to stay with me
Expressing the desire for you to stay.
But I’m lookin’ at my watch it’s a quarter after three
Checking the time; it's late.
Guessin’ I should get you home now and hope nobody sees
Suggesting it's time to take you home discreetly.
How late you’ve been out with me
Acknowledging the late hour spent together.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
I’m thinkin’ ’bout how lovely that you are
Reflecting again on your loveliness.
Have a couple cold ones
Having a few more cold drinks.
And spend the night in each others arms
Planning to continue spending the night together.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
I'm hopin’ that the sun don’t interrupt
Hoping the sun doesn't end the moment.
Make this last forever
Wishing for the moment to last forever.
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll ever get enough
Expressing the desire for an everlasting experience.
No
No specific meaning; perhaps an emphasis.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
We’ve all had our moments and our fun
Reflecting on past moments and fun experiences.
Drinkin’ all those cold ones
Recalling times of drinking cold ones.
Just livin’ in the moment while we’re young
Living in the moment while being young.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
Hopin’ that the sun don’t interrupt
Hoping the sun doesn't end the moment.
Make this last forever
Wishing for the moment to last forever.
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll ever get enough
Expressing the desire for an everlasting experience.
Sittin’ on the tailgate
Reiteration of being on the tailgate.
