Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Paradise is a swing on a porch

Summertime is a little too short

The best things in life are free

And they're always gonna be

Hometown is a heaven on earth

Sundays are for football and church

The world turns, but I believe

There's always gonna be

[Chorus]

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad

Good country songs on the radio

Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday

Long goodbye kisses in the driveway

Long as the sun keeps comin' up

Long as the Mississippi River runs

Baby, just like you and me

Some things are always gonna be

[Verse 2]

Girl, your eyes are my favorite blue

I double-take when I wake up with you

I'm so in love with you lovin' on me

And I'm always gonna be

Holding you close for the rest of my life

Forever and ever, baby, just like

[Chorus]

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad

Good country songs on the radio

Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday

Long goodbye kisses in the driveway

Long as the sun keeps comin' up

Long as the Mississippi River runs

Baby, just like you and me

Some things are always gonna be

[Bridge]

Always gonna hold your hand (Your hand)

Always gonna ask you to dance

Even when we're pushin' eighty

You're still gonna drive me crazy

[PreChorus]

There's always gonna be

[Chorus]

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad

Good country songs on the radio

Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday

Long goodbye kisses in the driveway

Long as the sun keeps comin' up

Long as the Mississippi River runs

Baby, just like you and me

Some things are always gonna be

[Outro]

Some things are always gonna be

Some things are always gonna be

Some things are always gonna be

Baby, just like you and me

Some things are always gonna be
