Lyrics

Julyin' (Greg Wilson, Michelle Canning, Bill O'Hanlon)

I was bailin' hay for her dad that June
She was home on break from her Ivy League school
teased her 'bout the pretty freckles on her nose
She made fun of my farm boy clothes

Sparks started flyin' that turned into a flame
We were sneaking out at night by Independence Day
Sweet magnolia flower in her hair
There was nothing between us but the midnight air

Two young hearts holding on to one another
Knew it couldn't last even one whole summer
We crossed our fingers when we said forever
We were playin' make believe that we'd end up together
As hot as that Mississippi summer sun was shinin'
We were just Julyin'

It wasn't love, no it wasn't even close
But we held on tight 'til we let go
Just like August the truth arrived
She headed back to school and said goodbye

Two young hearts holding on to one another
Knew it couldn't last even one whole summer
We crossed our fingers when we said forever
We were playin' make believe that we'd end up together
As hot as that Mississippi summer sun was shinin'
We were just Julyin'

And now when I smell magnolia on a warm summer night
I swear it takes me right back to that time in my life

Two young hearts holding on to one another
Knew it couldn't last even one whole summer
We crossed our fingers when we said forever
Deep down we knew we'd never end up together
As hot as that Mississippi summer sun was shinin'
It was a month-long white like neither of us were buyin'
We were just Julyin'
