(Matraca Berg, Randy Scruggs)The summer air was heavy and sweetYou and I on a crowded streetThere was music everywhere, I can see us thereIn a happy little foreign townWhere the stars hung upside downA half a world away, far far awayI remember you were laughungWe were so in love, we were so in loveAnd the band played songs we'd never heardBut we danced anywayWe never understood the wordsWe just sang oh la la la la la la la ohAnd we danced anywayThey say you can't go back, baby I don't believe thatCome along with me, come on and dance with meMaybe if I hold you closeBaby we could just let goOf these things that tie us down, we'll come back aroundDo you remember we were laughingWe were so in love, we were so in loveAnd the band played songs we'd never heardBut we danced anywayWe never understood the wordsWe just sang oh la la la la la la la la la ohAnd we danced anyway
