Church Lyrics

Yeah, I met a girl pretty as her picture
At a bonfire party graduation week
Drink in my hand, spent all night dancin' with her
Started talkin' bands and burnt CDs

She played me her favorite song, "Sinners Like Me"
And I ain't been the same since the first time I heard the Chief

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singin', oh, Springsteen
"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Love Your Love the Most" still sounds like, oh, eighteen
Back then these boots were almost new
I was still learnin' the words
That Friday night, I was holding on to her
She took me to church
She took me to church

We'd park up on that hill behind the high school
Crank it up and "Smoke a Little Smoke"
Some memories you can't leave behind you
Like a five-hour drive to Houston rodeo to catch a show

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singing, oh, Springsteen
"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Love Your Love the Most" still sounds like, oh, eighteen
From "Jesus Does" to "Talladega"
We sang every word
She stole my heart, and I still got the shirt
She took me to church
She took me to church

That summer came and went but those songs stuck around
And I still catch a buzz when she smiles and cranks it loud

She was my Carolina, red bandana, Ray-Ban singin', oh, Springsteen
"Young and Wild," that summer's why "Livin' Part of Life" still sounds like, oh, eighteen
When I hear "How 'Bout You", I feel that July flame burn
And every kiss still feels like the first
She took me to church
She took me to church
She took me to church, oh
She took me to church

Yeah, I met a girl pretty as a picture
