Lyrics

(D)To this day when I hear that song, I see you stand in’ there on that lawn, (G)dis count shades, store bought tan, flip flops and (A)cut off jeans.

Some where be tween that set tin’ sun, I’m on fire and born to run.

You (G)looked at me and I was done.

We’re just get tin’ start ed.

I was (D)sing in’ to you, you were sing in’ to me.

I was so a live, nev er been more free.

Fired (G)up my dad dy’s light er and we sang, (Bm)“Oh.”

Stayed there till they forced us out and took the long way to your house.

(G)I can still hear the sound of you (Bm)say in’, “Don’t go.”

When I think a bout you,

I think a bout sev en teen, I think a bout my old jeep, I think a bout the stars in the sky.

Fun ny how a mel o dy sounds like a mem o ry, like a sound track to a (G)Ju ly (G)Sat ur day night

Spring steen.

Spring steen.

I bumped (D)in to you by hap pen stance.

You prob ’ly would n’t e ven know who I am.

But if I whis pered your name, I bet there’d (Bm)still be a spark

and (D)back when I was gas o line and this old tat too had brand new ink (G)we did n’t care what your mom would think a bout your (Bm)name on my arm.

Ba by, (D)is it spring or is it sum mer, the gui tar sound or the beat of that drum mer you hear some times late at night on your ra di o?

E ven (D)though you’re a mil lion miles a way, when you hear “Born in the U.

S.

A.,” (G)you re live those glo ry days (Bm)so long a go.

When you think a bout me,

do you think a bout sev en teen?

Do you think a bout my old jeep, think a bout the stars in the sky?

Fun ny how a mel o dy sounds like a mem o ry, like a sound track to a (G)Ju ly (G)Sat ur day night

Spring steen,

(Bm)whoa whoa.

Fun ny how a mel o dy sounds like a mem o ry, like a sound track to a (G)Ju ly (G)Sat ur day night

Spring steen,

Whoa, Spring steen.
