It was right after senior year

Just before the summer disappeared

We went a-ridin′ them old farm rutsHangin' 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
