Music and Lyrics by Shawn Gilley Verse1:
I remember back when I was 8 The thing I always hated Going back to school I'd always dread September Waitin for December So I could have a break My dad said September was his favorite month college those days sure were fun He'd raise hell in town with his friends hopin these days would never end Weather changin football games he'd trade em for any summer day And it ends in the blink of an eye CHORUS: September rain is the thing that he's missin Fake Ids and out late kissin Pick up trucks and old dirt roads and camp fires out where townees go and Days flyin by way too fast Girl showin' him how much he had Rainy days and skippin class touch football on muddy grass And friends he'll always remember, he said "God I love September" Verse2: It turns out like most things in life parents again seemed to be right Always happens that way Cause ten years later my life has changed Priorities been rearranged I'm a college boy Drivin down the interstate the windows rolled down radio playin Pullin in to that college town makin me feel prouder than proud Then I see that old hotel past the town's water well Above the ad for cellular phones the sign says college kids welcome home CHORUS: September rain is the thing that I'm living Fake Ids and out late kissin Pick up trucks and old dirt roads and camp fires out where townees go and Days flyin by way too fast Girl showin' me how much I have Rainy days and skippin class touch football on muddy grass And friends I'll always remember, God I love September Then one fall day life turned around Then I learned just what I found Holdin' hands and fallin' fast Sittin together at the river's edge Watchin the sunset fadin God I love September |
