[Verse 1]
'Round here there ain't no sandy beach
No coconut drinks with a fancy name
You ain't gon' see no penthouse suites
But I can tell you somethin' better if you ask me
It's a sun-baked rope swing, fishin' in the dark
No bobber needed and I ain't got no night crawlers
But you can crawl on me in the Stepside Z
And we can drive where the mud and the asphalt meets

[Chorus]
Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a hometown girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights, and no cutscenes
Just everlastin' country
Everlastin' country

[Verse 2]
What's a five-star place to a wide-open space?
What's an Uber driver to a loud Chevrolet?
What's a downtown girl to a woman like you?
Eyes 90's model Ford, two-tone teal blue
What's red high heels to your little bare feet?
I don't want a reservation 'less it's somewhere in the weeds
I don't wish upon a time, 'cause 'these times', I'm livin' these
In a nowhere town in middle Tennessee
[Chorus]
Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a hometown girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights, and no cut scenes
Just everlastin' country
Everlastin' country

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a downhome girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights, and no cutscenes
Just everlastin' country
Everlastin' country
