Lyrics
Dusty little mixtape in the glove box again You wrote all the titles with your blue school pen Windows rolled down on a long Sunday drive Track nine came on and I felt alive Oh, sing it back to me Oh, just like we used to be Track nine was our song, sing along Track nine was our song, hold on strong Oh-oh-oh, we knew every word Oh-oh-oh, the sweetest we ever heard Track nine was our song Tape went wobbly in the summer heat But we sang it louder, off beat and sweet Friends in the back seat, laughing out loud Nobody knew how much we'd be proud Oh, sing it back to me Oh, just like we used to be Track nine was our song, sing along Track nine was our song, hold on strong Oh-oh-oh, we knew every word Oh-oh-oh, the sweetest we ever heard Track nine was our song Years roll on, the roads unwind But the tape keeps all we left behind Press play, press play, here we are Young again under the stars Track nine was our song, sing along Track nine was our song, hold on strong Oh-oh-oh, we knew every word Oh-oh-oh, the sweetest we ever heard Track nine was our song Sing along Track nine was our song
