(Matraca Berg, Randy Scruggs)

The summer air was heavy and sweet

You and I on a crowded street

There was music everywhere, I can see us there

In a happy little foreign town

Where the stars hung upside down

A half a world away, far far away

I remember you were laughung

We were so in love, we were so in love

And the band played songs we'd never heard

But we danced anyway

We never understood the words

We just sang oh la la la la la la la oh

And we danced anyway

They say you can't go back, baby I don't believe that

Come along with me, come on and dance with me

Maybe if I hold you close

Baby we could just let go

Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around

Do you remember we were laughing

We were so in love, we were so in love

And the band played songs we'd never heard

But we danced anyway

We never understood the words

We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la oh

And we danced anyway
