I met a girl over tonic and gin,
Said she specialized in beautiful sins,
We danced till closing at the Rusty Star,
And woke up naked by the reservoir.
The sun gets stronger, the stories get longer,
The beer gets colder, and we never get older,
These are the nights we'll always be,
Toasting friends and feeling free.
Sunburns and stories,
That's how it goes,
Laughing 'bout the trouble
Nobody else would know.
Sunburns and stories,
Rum and guitars,
Some nights you remember,
Some legends are born in bars.
She said the moon made the water look right,
Next thing I knew we were dancing in the moonlight,
She spied the hammock, said "let's take a ride,"
Damn thing snapped and left me on my backside.
The sun gets stronger, the stories get longer,
The beer gets colder, and we never get older,
These are the nights we'll always be,
Toasting friends and feeling free.
Sunburns and stories,
That's how it goes,
Laughing 'bout the trouble
Nobody else would know.
Sunburns and stories,
Rum and guitars,
Some nights you remember,
Some legends are born in bars.
By Sunday morning she slipped away,
Said she had a boat on Mobile Bay,
Left me a kiss and a crooked little smile,
Still tell that story every once in a while.
The sun gets stronger, the stories get longer,
The beer gets colder, and we never get older,
These are the nights we'll always be,
Toasting friends and feeling free.
Sunburns and stories,
That's how it goes,
Laughing 'bout the trouble
Nobody else would know.
Sunburns and stories,
Rum and guitars,
Some nights you remember,
Some legends are born in bars.
