It was midnight at the edge of town
Me and the boys just hanging out
Radio up and the tailgate down
Yeah we were passing something around
Then a rock band that old DJ
Spun a little gold that was custom made
Everybody hollering turn it up
Holding up them dixie cups
Yeah I remember right about then
I could feel a good time a good time
A good time kicking in
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
Turning them caution lights green
When you're 17 you never felt
Something that strong
And you can ' t help but sing along
Looking back on everything
I've done I could do no wrong
It all started with a song
She was drop dead I was tongue tied
She was on the passenger side
Parked down by the river
But I couldn't make the move
I was so shy
Yeah that's a night I would never forget
Coming on the FM
Her leaning in
Leaning in for our first kiss
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
Turning them caution lights green
When you're young and free and
Never felt something that strong
And you can ' t help but sing along
Looking back on everything
I've done I could do no wrong
It all started with a song
Every night when I'm standing
In the spot light
Beating on these 6 strings all night
Yeeah the story of my life
It all started with a song
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
Turning them caution lights green
When you're young and free and
Never felt something that strong
And you can ' t help but sing along
Looking back on everything
I've done I could do no wrong
It all started with a song
It all started with a song
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on gasoline
Turning them caution lights green
Yeeaaah it all started with a song
That's right here we go
Yeeah the songs are right and
The mood is high
Grab my baby and I hold her tight
Crank that song on the radio
Take her by the hand and
Feel her close yeeaah
