Buck Johnson - Slow Summer Night lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, there were times they called me crazy Well, I guess I've always been Tearing the road up and turning in circles Driving myself out of my skin [Pre-Chorus] There's a lesson that I have learned To be proud of the scars that I have earned [Chorus] As the lights go out in Nashville And the darkness brings some peace I sit in my pick-up and look at the stars In a night filled with memories And the sound of a silver eagle Is a song I will one day write It rolls on past and life goes by fast So I'm grateful for the slow summer night [Verse 2] Well, I tried to keep it simple Do my best and go on home No, lullabies and no excuses When your name is all you really own [Pre-Chorus] There's a reason for everything And that's the reason why I sing [Chorus] As the lights go out in Nashville And the darkness brings some peace I sit in my pick-up and look at the stars In a night filled with memories And the sound of a silver eagle Is a song I will one day write It rolls on past and life goes by fast So I'm grateful for the slow summer night [Bridge] Slow summer night And the temperature rising Slow summer night And the time stands still I feel the warm wind blow Like it did so long again In a place where I belong And I always will [Chorus] As the lights go out in Nashville And the darkness brings some peace I sit in my pick-up and look at the stars In a night filled with memories And the sound of a silver eagle Is a song I will one day write It rolls on past and life goes by fast So I'm grateful for the slow summer night It rolls on past and life goes by fast So I'm grateful for the slow summer night Oh, yeah, slow summer night
