Church

Yeah, I met a girl pretty as her picture

At a bonfire party graduation week

Drink in my hand, spent all night dancin' with her

Started talkin' bands and burnt CDs

She played me her favorite song, "Sinners Like Me"

And I ain't been the same since the first time I heard the Chief

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singin', oh, Springsteen

"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Love Your Love the Most" still sounds like, oh, eighteen

Back then these boots were almost new

I was still learnin' the words

That Friday night, I was holding on to her

She took me to church

She took me to church

We'd park up on that hill behind the high school

Crank it up and "Smoke a Little Smoke"

Some memories you can't leave behind you

Like a five-hour drive to Houston rodeo to catch a show

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singing, oh, Springsteen

"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Love Your Love the Most" still sounds like, oh, eighteen

From "Jesus Does" to "Talladega"

We sang every word

She stole my heart, and I still got the shirt

She took me to church

She took me to church

That summer came and went but those songs stuck around

And I still catch a buzz when she smiles and cranks it loud

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singin', oh, Springsteen

"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Livin' Part of Life" still sounds like, oh, eighteen

When I hear "How 'Bout You", I feel that July flame burn

And every kiss still feels like the first

She took me to church

She took me to church

She took me to church, oh

She took me to church

Yeah, I met a girl pretty as a picture
