Barefoot Blue Jean Night

The Barefoot Blue Jean Night Songfacts reports that this was the first cut that Owen didn't have a hand in writing. "I just want my songs to relate to people," he explained about choosing his material. "Those kinds of songs are what drive a career."

[Verse 1] A full moon shining bright Edge of the water; we were feeling alright Back down a country road The girls are always hot, and the beer is ice cold Cadillac, horns on the hood My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good Girls smile when we roll by They hop in the back, and we cruise to the river side [Chorus] Never gonna grow up Never gonna slow down We were shinin' like lighters in the dark In the middle of a rock show We were doin' it right We were comin' alive Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night [Verse 2] Blue eyes and auburn hair Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair New to town, and new to me Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea Shot me in love like a shootin' star So, I grabbed a beer and my ol' guitar Then we sat around till the break of dawn Howlin' and singin' our favorite song [Chorus] Never gonna grow up Never gonna slow down We were shinin' like lighters in the dark In the middle of a rock show We were doin' it right We were comin' alive Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night Never gonna grow up Never gonna slow down We were shinin' like lighters in the dark In the middle of a rock show We were doin' it right We were comin' alive Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, a barefoot, blue jean night [Outro] (Whoa-oh) Barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh) A barefoot, blue jean night (Whoa-oh) Barefoot, blue jean night A barefoot, blue jean night It's a barefoot, blue jean night A barefoot, blue jean night
