He said the way my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said “that’s a lie.” Just a boy in a pick up truck That had a funny way of getting stuck On back roads at night And I was right there beside him All summer long And then the time we woke up to find that summer’d gone
But when you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress The one you said you always liked best Next to my old faded pair of jeans When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think me.
September saw a month of tears And thankin God that you weren’t here To see me like that But in a box beneath my bed is a letter that you never read From three summers back It’s hard not to find it all a little bittersweet And looking back on all of that It was love to me
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress The one you said you always liked best Next to my old faded pair of jeans When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think me
And I’ve been back a couple times since then… I’ve been back a couple times since then And I didn’t look you up, Cuz some trains you can’t catch again You gotta leave it as it was
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think my little black dress The one you said you always liked best Next to my old faded pair of jeans When you think Tim McGraw, When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me
He said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said that’s a lie.
