“Tim McGraw” by Taylor Swift (simile)

You said the way my blue eyes shined,
“Put those Georgia stars to shame that night”
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On back roads at night
An' I was right there beside him all summer long
An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

CHORUS:
But when you think, “Tim McGraw,”
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long,
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think “Tim McGraw,”
I hope you think of me

September saw a month of tears,
An' thankin' G-d that you weren't here,
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed,
Is a letter that you never read,
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet,
An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe

CHORUS

And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street,
An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,
An' the first thing that you'll read

Is, "When you think ‘Tim McGraw,’
I hope you think my favorite song"
Some day you'll turn your radio on,
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness,
I hope you think, "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think “Tim McGraw,”
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me,
Mmmm

You said the way my blue eyes shined,
“Put those Georgia stars to shame that night”
I said, "That's a lie"
