Lyrics: I drove you out to the countryside
A million stars in the clear black sky
An August breeze dancin by
Near that old campfire

I played guitar and you sang along
You knew the words to every Beatles song
We found a place where we both belonged
When I held you close

All those memories of

You and I leavin all our cares behind
On those summer nights, feelin right, with the radio
In the front seat, just talkin’ bout our lives
We were growin’ up, so in love
When we were young

Fall came so suddenly
I left for school in Tennessee
But some things are meant to be
Like movin on with life

Is it true, are you married now?
Someone told me that ya still down south
Ill admit I still think about
You and I some days

All those memories of

You and I leavin all our cares behind
On those summer nights, feelin right, with the radio
In the backseat, just a fumbling around
We were growin up, so in love, when we were young

Bridge
When I need to smile, I just remember when
All those late nights with lipstick on your chin
You know sometimes I wanna do it all again
With you

Repeats Chorus 1

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
