Lyrics
Messing Around With Her
Snow cones and sweet southern tea, funnel cakes in Miami Beach
We rode that ferris wheel til the moon comes out.
We played a little truth or dare, a summer day at the county fair
But we were gone too long from home without a doubt.
Mama sure was worried, she kept the telephone at her side
But Lord this wasn’t the first time we sent her on a rollercoaster ride.
We were wild and reckless without any cares
And we searched real hard for that special one she fell into my hands, yeah
All of this commotion left me standing at a crossroads
I had no choice but to let her go for the ones who matter most.
Like moms and dads, sisters and brothers,
Even half a dozen cousins and their lovers
Should all come first, this is what I learned
That summer I spent messin’ around with her.
Credit cards and diamond rings, dressed up nice for the Vegas scene
Wonderin’ if we were ready to tie the knot.
But we wound up broke no place to go so I pawned my Chevy 4x4
For a couple of nights along the coast of a rundown shore.
But I remember telling her I’ve got a family back at home.
So come and take a ride with me if you don’t want to be alone.
We were wild and reckless without any cares
And we searched real hard for that special one she fell into my hands, yeah
All of this commotion left me standing at a crossroads
I had no choice but to let her go for the ones who matter most.
Like moms and dads, sisters and brothers,
Even half a dozen cousins and their lovers
Should all come first, this is what I learned
That summer I spent messin’ around with her.
Learned that--
Moms and dads and sisters and brothers
The whole wide world of at least one lover
Should all come first
That summer I spent messin’ around with her
That summer I spent messin’ around with her.
