It was right after senior year 00:13

Just before the summer disappeared 00:16

We went a-ridin' them old farm ruts 00:19

Hangin' out on the gate of his truck 00:23

We threw a blanket 'neath the sunset 00:26

Bein' brave as 18 gets 00:30

We gave each other more than our hearts 00:33

With the help of a mason jar 00:36

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine 00:40

We cut the burn with a little lime 00:43

Parkin' back in them kudzu vines 00:47

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine 00:50

Too young to know what love was 00:54

But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz 00:57

There's never nothin' like the first time 01:00

And mine's always gonna taste like 01:04

Watermelon moonshine 01:08

I don't remember where we got it from 01:10

I just remember feelin' all grown up 01:14

Takin' pulls like it ain't no thing 01:18

Never told him it was my first drink 01:21

But I told him that he was the one 01:25

You're so sure when you're that young 01:28

You think you got it all figured out 01:31

And now I laugh when I think about 01:34

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine 01:38

We cut the burn with a little lime 01:41

Parkin' back in them kudzu vines 01:45

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine 01:48

Too young to know what love was 01:52

There's never nothin' like the first time 01:59

And mine's always gonna taste like 02:02

Watermelon moonshine 02:06

I thought that high would last forever 02:09

But that ain't what it does 02:14

Maybe we were drunk in love 02:17

Lyrics:

[English]

It was right after senior year

Just before the summer disappeared

We went a-ridin' them old farm ruts

Hangin' out on the gate of his truck

We threw a blanket 'neath the sunset

Bein' brave as 18 gets

We gave each other more than our hearts

With the help of a mason jar

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine

We cut the burn with a little lime

Parkin' back in them kudzu vines

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine

Too young to know what love was

But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz

There's never nothin' like the first time

And mine's always gonna taste like

Watermelon moonshine

I don't remember where we got it from

I just remember feelin' all grown up

Takin' pulls like it ain't no thing

Never told him it was my first drink

But I told him that he was the one

You're so sure when you're that young

You think you got it all figured out

And now I laugh when I think about

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine

We cut the burn with a little lime

Parkin' back in them kudzu vines

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine

Too young to know what love was

But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz

There's never nothin' like the first time

And mine's always gonna taste like

Watermelon moonshine

I thought that high would last forever

But that ain't what it does

Maybe we were drunk in love

Or maybe we were just...

...

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine

We cut the burn with a little lime

Parkin' back in them kudzu vines

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine

Too young to know what love was

But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz

There's never nothin' like the first time

And mine's always gonna taste like

Watermelon moonshine

Grammar:

Just before the summer disappeared

➔ Past Simple (disappeared)

➔ Use of the "Past Simple" to describe a completed action in the past. Here, the summer vanishing is a definitive event.
We went a-ridin' them old farm ruts

➔ A-prefixing (a-ridin')

➔ The "a-" prefix attached to "ridin'" is an archaic or dialectal form, meaning "riding". It adds a folksy, rural feel.
Bein' brave as 18 gets

➔ Comparative (as...as)

➔ Using "as...as" to show a degree of comparison. The bravery is being compared to how brave 18-year-olds typically are.
Too young to know what love was

➔ "Too + adjective + to + infinitive"

➔ Expressing a limitation or inability. They were "too young" to have the necessary knowledge or experience to understand love.
But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz

➔ Present Continuous (were learnin')

➔ Using the "Present Continuous" (in past form here) to describe an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. Indicates an ongoing process of learning.
And mine's always gonna taste like

➔ Future with "gonna"

➔ "Gonna" is a colloquial shortening of "going to," used to express a future intention or prediction. It creates a more informal, conversational tone.
I don't remember where we got it from

➔ Indirect Question with embedded "where" clause

➔ The sentence is not a direct question but a statement about the speaker's lack of memory. The "where" clause acts as a noun clause functioning as the object of the verb "remember".
Maybe we were drunk in love Or maybe we were just...

➔ Past Simple vs. Past Continuous; Ellipsis

➔ This uses both the "Past Simple" (were drunk) and hints at the "Past Continuous" with the use of "just..." implying something was ongoing. The ellipsis creates suspense and allows for interpretation.
