Clear
crystal water drops
are on the windshield melting along
The
sound of perfect harmony
are in the background, sweet emotions
We
were young and free in my Cherokee, scared to death
you had your
head leaned back
your toes on the glass, watermelon red
It was raining so hard the first time I snuck out of my house to meet up in his truck- and I thought that we were just gonna make out. Apparently not, though. I waited till real late before I even attempted at opening the window to climb out, and Dustyn was waiting for me a half a mile down the road.
He drove us until we couldn't drive any further, and we wound up at a secret creek, and it was raining so hard we couldn't get out, so we decided to stay in the truck.
I put my feet on the dashboard as we started to talk. That's when he leaned in for a kiss. My hearts was beating so fast, I thought that it would come out and say, "Olay Everyboday!" with a country accent.
Chorus
I
remember what song was playing', that it was raining'
the time,
the day, the month, the year
the sweat, the steam, the urge, the
fear
there's nothing' about that long wet, sweet September, I
don't remember
Oh, it was raining so hard when he kissed me; and it started to rain harder when we lay down in the back. I could've sworn I heard his heart beat, but come to find out, it was my own pounding away in my chest.
I remember that it was around midnight on my 18th birthday when I lost my virginity, and I did it to the song, "Drift off to Dream" by Travis Tritt.
I
smile and wonder where you are
and if you ever think of me
and
how after that night in my arms
that we were never meant to
be
yeah we lived and learned the pages turned, no regrets
First time someone makes you feel like that, you'll never forget
Two
kids, 7 years, and a Smirnoff later, I let my mind drift back to him.
Although I'm happy with who I have and I wouldn't change it for
anything in the world, I've always wondered what it would be like
if I would have stayed with Dustyn. I never did once regret what I
did, and I'll never forget how it made me feel. For once in my
life, I had willingly put up my heart and soul, and I gout something
out of it. What my old flame doesn't know is that he gave me one of
my miracles. I
remember what song was playing', that it was raining'
the time,
the day, the month, the year
the sweat, the steam, the urge, the
fear
there's nothing' about that long wet, sweet September, I
don't remember
I stared at Dustyn like he was insane. "You can't leave me here!"
"I have to! My mom is going to Arkansas!"
"Can't you stay here with your dad? Or maybe you could stay with me! I'm positive my parents wouldn't mind. Plus, this is senior year! Please, stay."
"You know I can't, Brandi. I have to go; I'm so sorry."
He gave me a hug and a kiss, and I never saw him again. Why I didn't tell him then, I'll never know. I just… couldn't.
There's nothing' about that long wet, sweet September, I don't remember…
I don't remember, yeah…
I was snapped back into reality when my husband walked in the room with Piper and Savannah, and I realized that this is right where I was really meant to be. The man that I married adopted a child that wasn't even his, and treated her like his own. And he stole my heart like a dream come true.
