[Verse 1]
Ninety-eight-plus in the shade
Meltin' into your lemonade
Had to be the best July 14th God ever made
Cross-legged on a Subaru hood
Catchin' seeds off a cottonwood
You were talkin' to a friend, makin' bein' nineteen in a tan look good

[Pre-Chorus]
A new sound rollin' out the powered-down window of a passenger door
Woulda sworn I knew it, but I knew I never heard it before

[Chorus]
I guess some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic in the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world

[Verse 2]
Caught your eye 'cross the boat ramp lot
Lookin' like a heatwave mirage
So I took my best rock 'n' roll
"Hey how you doin'? What's your name?" best shot
Did my best James Dean Springsteen not give a damn
But I was shakin' when you smiled
Wrote your number on the back of my hand
I didn't know it back then
[Chorus]
But some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic in the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world

[Bridge]
A three-minute revelation from a radio station
Somewhere on the edge of town
They didn't know what they were playin' or the soul they were savin'
But the earth stopped spinnin' around

[Chorus]
I guess some songs change your world
But you won't find the magic in the melody or the words
If the first time you hear it is the first time you see the girl
You find out some songs change your world
I guess some songs change your world
Yeah, some songs change your world

[Instrumental Outro]
