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
