Evergreen

Sunshine on a two-lane road

Tom Petty on the radio

Fence post flyin' past

Field after field of fresh cut grass

Out there where the wild things grow

Wish I can bottle it up

'Cause that'll always feel like us

And we were never strong

As the whiskey we were drinkin'

Wrapped up in that sun sinkin'

Heart beatin' July heavy

We were good as gone

Like the leaves fall in September

But we threw around "forever"

In the back of that old Chevy

Two carved names in a live oak tree

Is all that's left of you and me

Gone like the summer in a Goodyear swing

We were never evergreen

Lipstick on a Dixie cup

Never could get close enough

Do you ever think about us?

Think about pickin' back up

Get to missin' what we had

Does it make your rearview sad?

That we were never strong

As the whiskey we were drinkin'

Wrapped up in that sun sinkin'

Heart beatin' July heavy

We were good as gone

Like the leaves fall in September

But we threw around "forever"

In the back of that old Chevy

Two carved names in a live oak tree

Is all that's left of you and me

Gone like the summer in a Goodyear swing

We were never evergreen

We were never strong

As the whiskey we were drinkin'

Wrapped up in that sun sinkin'

Heart beatin' July heavy

We were good as gone

Like the leaves fall in September

But we threw around "forever"

In the back of that old Chevy

Two carved names in a live oak tree

Is all that's left of you and me

Gone like the summer in a Goodyear swing

We were never evergreen

We were never evergreen
