Ninety 6

Verse 1

’96 wasn’t long ago
Brooks & Dunn on the radio
We were parked in the dark under a neon moon
Still young enough with nothing to lose

Verse 2

My two-tone Chevy left a trail of rust
But you could still get lost in her dust
As I headed aimless toward that open sky
Burning five dollars gas into neon nights

Chorus

Ain’t it
Funny how those years just disappear
I still see those days in my rearview mirror
I hear the tires roll
Down that gravel road
Singing at the top of our lungs
Back when forever lived out there
Out beyond the headlight glare
Nowhere to go, and we weren’t in a hurry to get there

Verse 3

’99, we were so in love
Back when we thought that forever was enough
Playin’ Tim McGraw just to see you smile
She was mine for a little while

Chorus

Ain’t it
Funny how those years just disappear
I still see those days in my rearview mirror
I hear the tires roll
Down that gravel road
Singing at the top of our lungs
Back when forever lived out there
Out beyond the headlight glare
Nowhere to go, and we weren’t in a hurry to get there

Instrumental

(Guitar solo)

Bridge

Somewhere out there, the radio’s on
Somewhere out there those nights live on

Final Chorus — Breakdown

Ain’t it
Funny how those years just disappear
I still see those days, they’re still so clear
I hear the tires roll
Down that gravel, singing
Out of the blue clear sky

Back when forever lived out there
We were just too young to care

Nowhere to go (oh, oh, oh)
And time moved slow (oh, oh, oh)
Nowhere to go, we weren’t in a hurry to get there

(Ninety-six on the radio)
Heads Carolina
(They’re playing our song) Tails California
(Ninety-six on the radio) We all sang along
