April Jean

Met a girl when I was young
She was sixteen minus one
Fell in love with the sprinklers on
Graduate and move away
Stay in best most everyday
A love like that can make you stay
But I know, we're not sixteen anymore
And I know, it ain't like it was before
'Cuz april jean
Is killin' me
She haunts my dreams at night
I'm not alright, it's another damn fight
She sleeps right by my side
And I know she'll always be
My april jean
Lost the girl I'm 21
Photograph exposed to sun
Picture in my wallets done
Late at night she paints me blue
When I'm drunk I think of you
I can't trade her in for someone new
But I know, we're not sixteen anymore
And I know, it ain't like it was before
'Cuz april jean
Is killin' me
She haunts my dreams at night
I'm not alright, it's another damn fight
She sleeps right by my side
And I know she'll always be
My april jean
I go back to the days on the bedroom floor
Where we talked about love and the boys before
I go back to the nights in the parking lot
Where we took it all of and we never got caught
I know her favorite songs
I know she's never wrong
I know we'll fall in love again
We'll fall in love again.
