Stayed A Summer

You'd be my firework memory burned in my mind

You'd be my sneakin'-out, windows-down midnight drive

I'd be your runnin'-late, made-you-wait Friday night

And I could say you were the right person, wrong time

You'd still be that Chesney song, still have your Texas T-shirt

Still smile when I hear your name if we'da just stayed

A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner

Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother

Just a July goodbye

Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder

Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other

If we'da just stayed a summer

We shoulda stayed a summer

Wouldn't know how bad we'd fight two drinks in, 2 AM

Wouldn't know how good you lie, wouldn't know how jealous I get

Wouldn't hate that Chesney song or torn up your Texas T-shirt

It wouldn't hurt when I hear your name if we'da just stayed

A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner

Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother

Just a July goodbye

Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder

Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other

If we'da just stayed a summer

We shoulda stayed a summer

Shoulda just, shoulda just, shoulda just stayed a summer, mm-mm

Coulda just, coulda just, coulda just stayed a summer

If we'da just stayed

A couple kids kissin' in the front of that red 4Runner

Cherry Coke mixed with somethin' that we stole from your brother

Just a July goodbye

Instead of knowin' how it ends, we would always get to wonder

Coulda just stayed the ones that got away for each other

If we'da just stayed a summer

We shoulda stayed a summer

Should've been nothin' more than a summer
